The process of age categorization serves biological,
psychological, and social functions by
enabling us to deal with stimuli from the world
around us more effectively. For instance, categorizing
the self as belonging to a particular age
group can inform and provide a meaningful social
identity, which is fundamental to how we define
and see ourselves (Harwood et al. 1995; Tajfel and
Turner 1979; Tajfel 1981). Perceiving others’ age
can inform our feelings and behavior toward
them, and can underpin judgments about attractiveness,
which is associated with reproductive
success (Jokela 2009). In this entry, we draw on
social psychological, cognitive, and evolutionary
theories to provide an overview of categorization
by age. After defining age categories or groups
and providing examples of the subjective nature
of their boundaries, we provide an overview of the
cognitive processes underpinning how people
perceive others’ age, the biological and social
cues used to estimate, and categorize others by
age. We consider the function of age categorization,
both as a way of classifying others to simplify
the world around us and classifying
ourselves to help define our own identity. We
then explore the social psychological and behavioral
consequences or risks of age categorization
and how it underpins age stereotypes, age prejudice,
and aged-based discrimination.
