新的研究表明，与年轻人相比，经历与年龄相关的调节能力下降的老年人可能更难抑制他们对污名化个人的负面偏见。然而，这在很大程度上仍然没有探索为什么会这样。例如，与年轻人相比，老年人可能认为遭污名的个人对其状况负有更大责任，这可能随后增加他们表达负面偏见的机会。目前的研究通过测试90名老年人和44名年轻人来调查这个问题。研究人员发现，执行功能相对受损的老年人在评估被污名化的个人时更加强调可控性，并将被污名化的情况整体评为更易变。
Emerging research suggests that older adults who experience age-related declines in regulatory abilities may have more difficulty inhibiting their expression of negative bias to stigmatized individuals as compared with young adults. However, it remains largely unexplored why this might be. For instance, older adults may hold stigmatized individuals more accountable for their conditions as compared with young adults, which could subsequently increase their expression of negative bias. The current study investigated this question by testing 90 older adults and 44 young adults. Researchers found that older adults with relatively impaired executive function placed a greater emphasis on controllability when evaluating stigmatized individuals and rated the stigmatized conditions overall as being more changeable.
