本研究探讨了年龄刻板印象威胁对老年人在驾驶中危险知觉表现的影响。年龄刻板印象的威胁有关的价值参与者放在驾驶和任务前和任务后的驾驶能力的信心的影响也进行了调查。86名年龄在65岁以上的成年人完成了一份调查问卷，测量人口统计信息，驾驶经验，自我评价的健康状况，驾驶重要性和驾驶信心。在进行定时危险感知任务之前，参与者暴露于消极或积极的年龄刻板印象。结果表明，年龄刻板印象的威胁，而不影响危险感知性能，显着降低驾驶后的信心相比，驾驶前的信心，那些在负启动条件。这一发现建立在文献的基础上，该文献发现，基于刻板印象的影响不能简单地理解为单独的表现结果，可能与受信心影响的因素有关，如驾驶停止决定。
This study examined the effect of age-stereotype threat on older adults' performance on a task measuring hazard perception performance in driving. The impact of age-stereotype threat in relation to the value participants placed on driving and pre- and post-task confidence in driving ability was also investigated. Eighty-six adults aged from 65 years of age completed a questionnaire measuring demographic information, driving experience, self-rated health, driving importance, and driving confidence. Prior to undertaking a timed hazard perception task, participants were exposed to either negative or positive age stereotypes. Results showed that age-stereotype threats, while not influencing hazard perception performance, significantly reduced post-driving confidence compared with pre-driving confidence for those in the negative prime condition. This finding builds on the literature that has found that stereotype-based influences cannot simply be understood in terms of performance outcomes alone and may be relevant to factors affected by confidence such as driving cessation decisions.
