• The role of individual difference variables in ageism (2014, background): “In the case of university undergraduates, some researchers (Allan & Johnson, 2009; Boswell, 2012; Schwartz & Simmons, 2001) found no relationship between quantity of contact with older adults and ageist attitudes while others (Luo, Zhou, Jin, Newman, & Liang, 2013; Van Dussen & Weaver, 2009) found…”
• Contact, Anxiety, and Young People's Attitudes and Behavioral Intentions Towards the Elderly (2010, background): “However, the benefits of contact in reducing ageism have also been demonstrated in a number of studies (e.g., Allan & Johnson, 2009; Caspi, 1984; Hale, 1998; Knox, Gekoski, & Johnson, 1986; Meshel & McGlynn, 2004; Schwartz & Simmons, 2001).”
• Children's Attitudes Toward Older Adults and Aging: A Synthesis of Research (2008, background): “It is suggested that ‘‘contact conditions’’ are correlated to gaining positive attitudes (Schwartz & Simmons, 2001, p. 128).”
• Does contact reduce prejudice or does prejudice reduce contact? A longitudinal test of the contact hypothesis among majority and minority groups in three European countries. (2009, background): “However, many others have observed the dominance of quality over quantity (Brown et al., 2001; Eller & Abrams, 2003, 2004; Greenland & Brown, 1999; Schwartz & Simmons, 2001; Stephan, Diaz-Loving, & Duran, 2000).”
• Undergraduate Attitudes Toward the Elderly: The Role of Knowledge, Contact and Aging Anxiety (2008, background): “Research (Knox et al., 1986; Schwartz & Simmons, 2001) that takes into account self-reported quality of contact with the elderly finds that attitudes toward older people are predicted by the quality of, and not by the frequency of, contact.”
• This Old Stereotype: The Pervasiveness and Persistence of the Elderly Stereotype (2005, background): “High-quality intergenerational contact (Caspi, 1984; Schwartz & Simmons, 2001) and exposure to stereotype-inconsistent (Jackson & Sullivan, 1988) and individuating (Erber et al., 1992) information could help to undo the elderly stereotype by restoring a sense of esteem for older people.”
