This 2-part study used photograph-age and photograph-stereotype sorting tasks to examine the role of target facial cues in stereotyping of older persons. As predicted, young, middle-aged, and older participants associated photographs of those who looked older and those with a neutral facial expression with fewer positive stereotypes than other photographs. Participants also selected fewer positive stereotypes for photographs of women than of men, except when the photographs showed old-old (80 years and over) men. Participant age affected stereotyping only of the photographs of old-old persons, with older participants selecting fewer positive stereotypes for those photographs than middle-aged and young participants. These results establish the importance of facial cues in the age stereotyping process and suggest age boundaries for positive stereotypes of men and women.
这项分为两部分的研究使用照片年龄和照片刻板印象分类任务，来检验目标面部线索在对老年人刻板印象形成中的作用。正如所预测的那样，与其他照片相比，年轻、中年和老年参与者将看起来更年长以及面部表情中性的人的照片与较少的积极刻板印象联系起来。参与者为女性照片选择的积极刻板印象也比男性照片少，不过当照片显示的是高龄（80岁及以上）男性时除外。参与者年龄仅影响对高龄者照片的刻板印象，老年参与者为这些照片选择的积极刻板印象比中年和年轻参与者少。这些结果确立了面部线索在年龄刻板印象形成过程中的重要性，并表明了男女积极刻板印象的年龄界限。
