作者研究了年龄歧视对幸福感和群体认同的影响。排斥-认同模型表明，感知到的歧视损害了低地位群体的心理健康，但群体认同在一定程度上缓解了这种影响。作者假设，这个过程模型在老年人中得到证实，因为他们的低地位群体成员是永久性的，但在年轻人中没有得到证实，因为低地位是暂时的。使用结构方程模型，作者发现支持老年人感知年龄歧视与幸福感之间直接负相关的假设，增加年龄组识别部分减弱了这种影响。对于年轻人来说，这些关系是不存在的。对歧视的不同反应似乎是基于离开低地位群体的机会。
The authors examined the consequences of perceived age discrimination for well-being and group identification. The rejection-identification model suggests that perceived discrimination harms psychological well-being in low status groups but that group identification partially alleviates this effect. The authors hypothesized that this process model would be confirmed among older adults because their low status group membership is permanent but not confirmed among young adults whose low status is temporary. Using structural equation modeling, the authors found support for the hypothesized direct negative link between perceived age discrimination and well-being among older adults, with increased age group identification partially attenuating this effect. For young adults, these relationships were absent. Differences in responses to discrimination appear to be based on opportunities for leaving a low status group.
