Abstract

We examined whether a virtual intergenerational activity was feasible and effective for reducing ageism among older (OA) and younger adults (YA) during the COVID-19 pandemic. OA (n=16) and YA (n=15) completed a virtual intergenerational activity, and analysis was conducted for a subsample (n=5 OA, n=10 YA) who completed pretest-posttest ageism surveys. Paired samples t-tests showed no significant ageism change in attitudes towards OA. OA's ageist attitudes towards YA (p=.012) were significantly reduced. Open-ended responses revealed several themes (e.g., challenging stereotypes). Preliminary evidence demonstrated the feasibility of this activity. A larger sample size is needed to better determine efficacy.

虚拟代际活动对减少年轻人和老年人年龄歧视的有效性

我们研究了在新冠肺炎大流行期间，虚拟代际活动对于减少老年人（OA）和年轻人（YA）的年龄歧视是否可行和有效。OA（n=16）和YA（n=15）完成了一项虚拟的代际活动，并对完成测试前-测试后年龄歧视调查的子样本（n=5 OA，n=10 YA）进行了分析。配对样本t检验显示，对OA的态度没有显著的年龄歧视变化。OA对YA的年龄歧视态度（p=0.012）显著降低。不限成员名额的答复揭示了几个主题（例如，挑战陈规定型观念）。初步证据证明了这项活动的可行性。需要更大的样本量来更好地确定疗效。[作者]《代际关系杂志》的版权归Taylor&Francis有限公司所有，未经版权持有人明确书面许可，不得将其内容复制或通过电子邮件发送到多个网站或发布到listserv。但是，用户可以打印、下载或通过电子邮件发送文章供个人使用。这可能会被删节。对复印件的准确性不作任何保证。用户应参考材料的原始发布版本以获取完整信息。（版权适用于所有人。）
