这项研究探讨了关于外群体的刻板印象是否会影响身体健康。此前已有研究表明，老年人对其群体内的积极刻板印象有利于身体健康。然而，通过积极的陈规定型观念将他们的外群体-年轻人理想化对身体健康的潜在影响尚未得到研究。该队列由189名年龄在60岁及以上的参与者组成，他们经历了心血管事件：心肌梗死（MI）。参与者报告了他们对年轻人和老年人的刻板印象。在事件发生后1年内的4个时间点，使用体能组合评估他们的MI恢复情况。正如假设的那样，在调整相关协变量后，对年轻人的积极刻板印象预测了显着更差的恢复，对老年人的积极刻板印象预测了显着更好的恢复。考虑外群体理想化作为一个危险因素可以提供一个创新的研究和临床工具。（PsycInfo数据库记录（c）2022阿帕，保留所有权利）
This study examined whether stereotypes about an out-group could influence physical health. It had been previously shown that positive stereotypes held by older individuals about their in-group benefited physical health. However, the potential impact on physical health from idealizing their out-group, the young, through positive stereotypes had not been studied. The cohort consisted of 189 participants, aged 60 and older, who experienced a cardiovascular event: a myocardial infarction (MI). Participants reported their stereotypes about the young and the old at baseline. Their MI recovery was assessed with a physical-performance battery that was administered at 4 time points across 1 year following the event. As hypothesized, positive stereotypes about the young predicted significantly worse recovery and positive stereotypes about the old predicted significantly better recovery, after adjusting for relevant covariates. Considering out-group idealization as a risk factor could provide an innovative research and clinical tool.(PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2022 APA, all rights reserved)
