Healthy community-dwelling elderly individuals assessed the typicality and approximate age of individuals representing ten stereotypes of elderly people identified in prior research with young adults. Results showed that, as predicted, the elderly adults saw the stereotypes as less typical of elderly individuals than did the young adults, although both groups agreed on which stereotypes were most typical of the general elderly population. Analysis of age judgments revealed that the elderly respondents, in comparison to the young adults, were more likely to use the old-old age ranges to describe the stereotypes, and much less likely to associate the positive stereotypes with the young-old age ranges. Both elderly and young adults tended to associate negative stereotypes with the older elderly age ranges.
健康的社区老年人评估了代表先前针对年轻人的研究中确定的十种老年人刻板印象的个体的典型性和大致年龄。结果表明，正如预期的那样，与年轻人相比，老年人认为这些刻板印象对老年人来说不那么典型，尽管两组在哪些刻板印象最能代表一般老年人群体上达成了一致。年龄判断分析显示，与年轻人相比，老年受访者更有可能使用高龄范围来描述这些刻板印象，而将积极的刻板印象与年轻老年人范围联系起来的可能性要小得多。老年人和年轻人都倾向于将消极的刻板印象与更年长的年龄范围联系起来。
