Stereotypes, Prejudice, and Discrimination02:55

Stereotypes, Prejudice, and Discrimination

90.2K
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...

Cognitive Development During Adulthood

92
Cognitive development continues throughout adulthood, undergoing significant shifts across early, middle, and late stages. Individual transition occurs from adolescent idealism to pragmatic and adaptable thinking in early adulthood. During this period, individuals learn to integrate personal beliefs with the recognition that other perspectives are equally valid. Exposure to the complexities of modern society, diverse experiences, and higher education contribute to this adaptive thought process,...

Community-based interventions in mental health represent a paradigm shift from institution-centered care to treatments embedded within the fabric of local communities. By prioritizing inclusion and leveraging existing societal structures, this approach fosters a supportive environment conducive to addressing mental health challenges while promoting individual dignity and agency.

Erikson's Theory on Socioemotional Development during Adulthood

81
Erik Erikson's theory of psychosocial development outlines a series of stages through which individuals progress across the lifespan. Each stage involves a psychosocial conflict that significantly influences personal growth and well-being. Three key stages — intimacy versus isolation, generativity versus stagnation, and integrity versus despair — highlight the developmental challenges faced in adulthood.

Ethnic Identity within a Larger Culture

30
Adolescents from ethnic minority backgrounds face a multifaceted journey in forming their identities, shaped by the intersections of cultural expectations and personal exploration. For these adolescents, identity formation involves not only typical developmental challenges but also navigating the perceptions and attitudes of the majority culture. As they grow, adolescents in ethnic minority groups often become increasingly aware of stereotypes, social biases, and discrimination, all of which...

Aging01:26

Aging

48
Aging is a complex biological phenomenon influenced by various processes that affect cellular and systemic functions. Several prominent theories attempt to explain its mechanisms, highlighting cellular limitations, oxidative damage, and hormonal changes as central factors in aging.
Cellular Clock Theory
The cellular clock theory posits that the human lifespan is closely tied to the finite capacity of cells to divide, a phenomenon governed by telomeres, which are protective caps at the ends of...

Area of Science:

  • Gerontology
  • Psychology
  • Public Health

Background:

  • Internalized ageism, stemming from lifelong exposure to ageist beliefs, poses significant health risks for older adults.
  • Research on interventions to mitigate internalized ageism is limited, highlighting a critical gap in current gerontological and psychological support.
  • Stereotype embodiment theory provides a framework for understanding how internalized ageism affects psychological, behavioral, and physiological health outcomes.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To design and evaluate the feasibility of a six-week online process-based intervention aimed at reducing internalized ageism in older adults.
  • To explore the potential of process-based therapy to address the multifaceted impacts of internalized ageism.
  • To gather preliminary data on participant engagement and perceived usefulness of the intervention.

Main Methods:

  • A six-week online process-based intervention was developed, incorporating education, acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), and attributional retraining.
  • The intervention targeted psychological, behavioral, and physiological pathways influenced by internalized ageism.
  • A feasibility study was conducted with 81 older adult participants.

Main Results:

  • The intervention was rated as highly useful by most participants, with an average program usefulness rating of 4.54/5.
  • Participants reported adopting novel behaviors and experiencing shifts in their perspectives on ageism and internalized ageism.
  • The study demonstrated the feasibility and potential effectiveness of the online intervention.

Conclusions:

  • The developed online intervention shows promise as a feasible method for reducing internalized ageism in older adults.
  • This study provides a foundation for future research into effective interventions for internalized ageism, addressing a critical issue in aging.
  • Addressing internalized ageism is crucial for improving the health and well-being of the global older adult population.
