Abstract

Two studies analyzed whether, at the cognitive level, ‘Elderly gay man’ is “invisible” both when processing the labels ‘Gay man’ and ‘Elderly man’. We suggest that ‘Gay man’ is conflated with ‘Young man’, and that ‘Elderly man’ is conflated with ‘Heterosexual man’. Contact with elderly gay men did not alter the perception of ‘Gay man’ as prevalently young but weakened the perception of ‘Elderly man’ as heterosexual by default.

从认知角度看“男同性恋”和“老年人”范畴内老年男同性恋的“隐形性”

两项研究分析了在认知层面上，“老年男同性恋”在处理“男同性恋”和“老年人”标签时是否“隐形”。我们建议将“男同性恋”与“年轻人”混为一谈，将“老年人”与“异性恋者”混为一谈。与老年男同性恋的接触并没有改变“男同性恋”普遍年轻的看法，但默认情况下削弱了“老年人”异性恋的看法。
