经济学研究倾向于将“老年人”归为一个群体，政策问题也是如此，将65岁以上的人都概念化为“老年人”。这种方法是有问题的，主要是因为它往往不能准确地代表一个快速增长的，多样化的，健康的老年人口。有鉴于此，我们回顾了年龄歧视文献，强调区分仍然活跃的“年轻人”和可能更受损的“老年人”（Neugarten）的重要性。我们认为，年龄歧视理论不成比例地集中在老年人身上，并区分了明显针对每个老年人亚群的年龄歧视形式。特别是，我们强调了年轻人的困境主要是在工作场所和紧张局势有关继承的理想资源;相比之下，老老的困境可能集中在工作场所以外的共享资源的消费。对于社会心理学研究人员和政策制定者来说，准确地对年龄歧视进行分类将有助于社会最好地适应迅速增长的多样化老年人口。
Ageism research tends to lump “older people” together as one group, as do policy matters that conceptualize everyone over 65 as “senior.” This approach is problematic primarily because it often fails to represent accurately a rapidly growing, diverse, and healthy older population. In light of this, we review the ageism literature, emphasizing the importance of distinguishing between the still‐active “young‐old” and the potentially more impaired “old‐old” (Neugarten). We argue that ageism theory has disproportionately focused on the old‐old and differentiate the forms of age discrimination that apparently target each elder subgroup. In particular, we highlight the young‐old's plights predominantly in the workplace and tensions concerning succession of desirable resources; by contrast, old‐old predicaments likely center on consumption of shared resources outside of the workplace. For both social psychological researchers and policymakers, accurately subtyping ageism will help society best accommodate a burgeoning, diverse older population.
