Stereotypes, Prejudice, and Discrimination02:55

Stereotypes, Prejudice, and Discrimination

94.5K
Humans are very diverse and although we share many similarities, we also have many differences. The social groups we belong to help form our identities (Tajfel, 1974). These differences may be difficult for some people to reconcile, which may lead to prejudice toward people who are different. Prejudice is a negative attitude and feeling toward an individual based solely on one’s membership in a particular social group (Allport, 1954; Brown, 2010). Prejudice is common against people who...

Stereotype Content Model02:16

Stereotype Content Model

15.2K
The Stereotype Content Model (SCM) was first proposed by Susan Fiske and her colleagues (Fiske, Cuddy, Glick & Xu, 2002; see also Fiske, 2012 and Fiske, 2017). The SCM specifies that when someone encounters a new group, they will stereotype them based on two metrics: warmth—or that group’s perceived intent, and how likely they are to provide help or inflict harm—and competence—or their ability to carry out that objective. Depending on the warmth-competence...

Pharmacodynamics in Geriatric Patients: Effects of Age

121
Age-related pharmacokinetic changes are extensively documented, but understanding age-related pharmacodynamic alterations is relatively limited. This knowledge gap can be partly attributed to the complexity of developing appropriate measures of drug responses compared to bioanalytical methods for determining drug concentrations.Most information regarding age-related differences in human pharmacodynamics originates from cross-sectional studies. However, these studies assume that observed mean...

The Sense of Self: Reflected Self-Appraisal and Social Comparison

55.2K
According to Charles Cooley, we base our image on what we think other people see (Cooley 1902). We imagine how we must appear to others, then react to this speculation. We don certain clothes, prepare our hair in a particular manner, wear makeup, use cologne, and the like—all with the notion that our presentation of ourselves is going to affect how others perceive us. We expect a certain reaction, and, if lucky, we get the one we desire and feel good about it. But more than that, Cooley...

Horney's Sociocultural Approach01:27

Horney's Sociocultural Approach

929
Karen Horney's psychoanalytic theories emphasize the potential for self-realization and the importance of addressing social and cultural, rather than biological, factors in personality development. She challenged traditional Freudian views, particularly Freud's concept of "penis envy," which she argued stemmed from cultural influences rather than inherent biological differences. Horney believed that any sense of inferiority in women was a result of societal conditioning, such as...

Halo Effect01:27

Halo Effect

235
The halo effect is a cognitive bias in which an individual's overall impression influences judgments about their specific traits. This psychological phenomenon leads people to associate positive characteristics with those they perceive as generally good and negative characteristics with those they view as bad. This effect is particularly influential in social perception, professional evaluations, and decision-making processes.The Psychological Basis of the Halo EffectThe halo effect is rooted...

Summary

Discursive approaches reveal how ageism in working life is experienced, socially constructed, and countered by workers. Further research is needed on methods, age-based labeling, and intersectionality to inform policies.

Area of Science:

  • Gerontology
  • Social Sciences
  • Workplace Studies

Background:

  • Reviews 50 years of ageism research.
  • Highlights the impact of the discursive turn in social science and gerontology.
  • Focuses on ageism within the context of working life.

Purpose of the Study:

  • Investigate discursive approaches to studying ageism in working life.
  • Identify knowledge gaps from a discursive perspective.
  • Synthesize findings on ageism experiences, construction, and mitigation strategies.

Main Methods:

  • Followed a 5-step scoping review protocol.
  • Extracted 851 papers from electronic databases.
  • Included 39 papers based on defined criteria.

Main Results:

  • Identified three main research themes: experiences of ageism, social construction of age and ageism, and strategies to tackle ageism.
  • Included participants across the entire working life spectrum.
  • Utilized discursive approaches in selected studies.

Conclusions:

  • Discursive research offers insights into ageism experiences, construction, and worker strategies.
  • Recommends further development in methods, data, problematization of age-based labeling, and intersectionality.
  • Suggests research can inform policies to disentangle age and ageism in the workplace.
