鉴于对年龄认同结构的长期兴趣，但其持续的抵抗解释，本研究的目的是重新审视年龄认同的概念结构，通过使用修改后的焦点小组设计，以反映当代社会科学理论。这项研究的第二个目的是检查这种修改后的设计是如何运作的。结果表明，传统的概念结构中缺少一个关键成分，即语境依赖。研究结果还表明，修改后的设计的意义，显示了一个更复杂的概念结构，可以出现时，参与者有更多的机会考虑和表达自己的想法对一个特定的现象。同样，结果表明，参与者的任何单一贡献都是模糊的。
Given the perennial interest in the construct of age identity yet its persistent resistance to explanation, the purpose of this study was to re-examine the conceptual structure of age identity by using a focus group design modified to reflect contemporary social science theory. The second purpose of the study was to examine how this modified design functioned. The results indicated that a key component was missing in the conventional conceptual structure, its context-dependency. The results also indicated the significance of the modified design showing how a more complex conceptual structure can emerge when participants have extended opportunities to consider and articulate their thoughts on a particular phenomenon. As well, the results indicated the ambiguity in any single contribution of a participant.
