2020年，新型冠状病毒疫情在全球范围内构成前所未有的挑战，危险的病毒感染与广泛的控制措施相结合，导致行为自由受到严重限制，并伴随着恐惧和担忧。作为老龄问题观点领域的研究人员，我们尤其感到震惊的是为保护老年人而进行的遏制这一流行病的讨论和制定的条例。在我们自己的研究的支持下，多年来，我们一直致力于促进对老年的不同看法，这些看法更准确地反映了老龄化和老年人的现实：即多样性和多层面性（Klusmann等人，2020年; Kornadt等人，2019年）。然而，在围绕这一大流行病的社会对话以及科学对话中，老年人被视为一个几乎没有区别的风险群体，被视为脆弱、无助和需要社会保护的群体。对老年人机构实施了严格的接触限制，社会结构被封锁，敦促家庭减少与年长亲属的接触，65岁以上的人被暂时禁止进入工作场所和参加公共和私人场所的活动。家庭成员经常接管日常工作，例如为年长的亲戚购物，有时甚至未经他们同意。这些事件已经并将继续产生许多心理社会后果-正如老龄化研究人员在各种场合指出的那样（例如Ayalon等人，2020年; Ehni和Wahl 2020）。我们的欧洲老龄化杂志（EJA）的特别部分致力于对老龄化的看法，即，人们对老龄化和老年人的观念，既体现在个人层面，也体现在社会层面，并反映在情感、认知和行为上。所有文章均于2019冠状病毒病危机爆发前撰写并接受发表。然而，这一流行病无疑使我们的工作更加及时。对老龄化的看法不仅决定了人们的思想和行为的年龄友好性，而且还决定了他们自己的个性发展，预防行动和健康行为，不仅在老年，而且从生命早期开始（Klusmann等人2020; Kornadt等人2019）。这一大流行病深刻地表明，我们需要进一步了解老龄化观点的结构、起源和后果，以增进整个生命周期的福祉。本期EJA的特别部分是我们的科学网络老龄化图像（德语“Altersbilder”）的成果，自2017年以来由德国研究基金会（DFG）资助。在过去数年举办的多个工作坊中，我们旨在透过建立共同语言、找出和处理未决问题、与国际专家交换意见，以及分享正在进行的研究和初步结果，推动有关老龄化观点的研究。我们现在自豪地提出八个贡献，解决重要的，迄今尚未解决的问题，对老龄化的看法在整个生命周期。
In the year 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic has posed an unprecedented, worldwide challenge, pairing a dangerous, viral infection with extensive measures designed to contain it. This has led to severely restricted behavioural freedoms and has been accompanied by fears and worries. Particularly striking for us as researchers in the field of views on ageing were the discussions and regulations to contain the pandemic in order to protect older people. Buttressed by our own research, for years we have been committed to the promotion of differentiated views on old age that more accurately represent the reality of ageing and older people: that is, as diverse and multidimensional (Klusmann et al. 2020; Kornadt et al., 2019). In the societal but also in the scientific dialogue surrounding the pandemic, however, older people have been treated as one, barely differentiated risk group; as vulnerable, helpless, and in need of society’s protection. Strict contact restrictions have been imposed on institutions for older people, social structures have been locked down, families have been urged to reduce contact with older relatives, and people over 65 have been temporarily banned from their workplaces and from attending events, both in public and private spaces. Family members have often taken over the daily tasks such as shopping for older relatives, sometimes even without their consent. These events have had and will continue to have a number of psychosocial consequences—as ageing researchers have pointed out on various occasions (eg Ayalon et al. 2020; Ehni and Wahl 2020).Our special section of the European Journal of Ageing (EJA) is devoted to views on ageing, that is, people’s conceptions about ageing and older people that manifest both on the individual as well as on the societal level and that reflect in affect, cognition, and behaviour. All of the articles were written and accepted for publication before the onset of the COVID-19 crisis. The pandemic has, however, certainly amplified the timeliness of our work. Views on ageing not only determine the age-friendliness of people’s thoughts and behaviour, but also their own personality development, preventive action, and health behaviour, not only in old age, but from early life on (Klusmann et al. 2020; Kornadt et al. 2019). The pandemic has poignantly demonstrated the need to advance our understanding of the structure, origins, and consequences of views on ageing in order to enhance wellbeing across the entire life span. The special section of this EJA issue is an output of our scientific network Images of Ageing (German ‘Altersbilder’), funded by the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (German Research Foundation, DFG) since 2017. In a number of workshops held across the past several years, we aimed to advance research on views on ageing by establishing a common language, identifying and tackling open questions, exchanging our views with international experts, and sharing ongoing research and preliminary findings. We are now proud to present eight contributions that address important and thus far unresolved issues concerning views on ageing across the life span.
