Older adults often have positive explicit attitudes toward aging but negative implicit attitudes, with similar patterns in self-esteem. Both explicit and implicit attitudes toward aging influence self-esteem differently.

Area of Science:

  • Psychology
  • Gerontology
  • Social Science

Background:

  • Attitudes toward aging and self-esteem significantly impact older adults' health and well-being.
  • The relationship between implicit attitudes toward aging and implicit self-esteem is not well understood.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the relationship between implicit and explicit attitudes toward aging and self-esteem in older adults.
  • To explore consistencies and correlations between implicit and explicit measures of aging attitudes and self-esteem.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized the Implicit Association Test (word and picture versions) and standardized scales.
  • Assessed 70 older adults aged 60-91 years.

Main Results:

  • Explicit and implicit attitudes toward aging formed independent structures, as did explicit and implicit self-esteem.
  • Participants generally reported positive explicit aging attitudes and high explicit self-esteem, but negative implicit aging attitudes and low implicit self-esteem.
  • Positive explicit aging attitudes correlated with higher explicit self-esteem; negative implicit aging attitudes correlated with higher implicit self-esteem.

    • Conclusions:

    • Older adults' explicit and implicit attitudes toward aging and self-esteem are distinct constructs.
    • Attitudes toward aging predict self-esteem differently in explicit and implicit domains.
