商品簡介
Along with race and gender, people commonly use age to categorize -- and formstereotypes about -- others. Of the three categories, age is the only one in which the members ofthe in-group (the young) will eventually join the out-group (the old). Although ageism is foundcross-culturally, it is especially prevalent in the United States, where most people regard growingolder with depression, fear, and anxiety. Older people in the United States are stigmatized andmarginalized, with often devastating consequences.Although researchers have paid a great deal ofattention to racism and sexism, there has been a dearth of research on ageism. A major reason forthis neglect is that age prejudice is still considered socially acceptable. As baby boomers approachretirement age, however, there has been increased academic and popular interest in aging. Thisvolume presents the current thinking on age stereotyping, prejudice, and discrimination byresearchers in gerontology, psychology, sociology, and communication. The book presents theoreticaland empirical findings on the origins and effects of ageism, as well as suggestions on how to reduceageism for the approaching "graying of America."
