The research tradition of old age stereotypes has typically been limited to a social psychological perspective of their dysfunctional consequences. This exploratory study examines the possible functions served by such stereotypes from a sociocultural frame of reference, in particular, testing the hypothesis of Richard Kalish and Carroll Estes that problem-oriented conceptions of older persons are part of an emerging political ideology. Using the responses of the Louis-Harris-NOCA "The Myth and Reality of Aging in America" survey, the relation between aging stereotypes and attitudes toward federal support of the aged are reported.
关于老年刻板印象的研究传统通常局限于从社会心理学角度探讨其功能失调的后果。这项探索性研究从社会文化参照系的角度审视了此类刻板印象可能具有的功能，特别是检验了理查德·卡利什和卡罗尔·埃斯蒂斯的假设，即针对老年人的问题导向型观念是一种新兴政治意识形态的一部分。利用路易斯-哈里斯-NOCA“美国老龄化的神话与现实”调查的回应，报告了衰老刻板印象与对联邦老年人支持态度之间的关系。
