年龄是识别每个人最终都可能加入的子组的唯一社会类别。尽管如此，尽管众所周知老年人口的增长，基于年龄的偏见在社会心理学中仍然是一个研究不足的话题。本文系统地回顾了有关年龄歧视的文献，重点介绍了对年龄歧视后果的现有研究和对年龄歧视成因的理论观点。然后，我们发现了文献中的一个关键缺口：潜在的代际紧张关系，推测不断增长的老年人口--以及社会为适应这一人口而做出的努力--可能会引发代际之火，尤其是在年轻一代中。呈现这一早期问题的两个方面，我们回顾了相关的实证工作，这些工作介绍了关于老龄化社会中代际关系的乐观和悲观的理由。最后，我们建议了年龄歧视研究的未来途径，强调了解即将到来的代际动态对该领域和更广泛的社会的好处的重要性。
Age is the only social category identifying subgroups that everyone may eventually join. Despite this, and despite the well-known growth of the older population, age-based prejudice remains an under-studied topic in social psychology. This paper systematically reviews the literature on ageism, highlighting extant research on its consequences and theoretical perspectives on its causes. We then identify a crucial gap in the literature: potential intergenerational tensions, speculating how a growing older population—and society’s efforts to accommodate it—might stoke intergenerational fires, particularly among the younger generation. Presenting both sides of this incipient issue, we review relevant empirical work that introduces reasons for both optimism and pessimism concerning intergenerational relations within an aging society. We conclude by suggesting future avenues for ageism research, emphasizing the importance of understanding forthcoming intergenerational dynamics for the benefit of the field and broader society.
