The current study assessed attitudes and perceptions of older adults in March/April 2021. Hostile and benevolent ageism predicted greater perceived intergenerational tension (consumption and identity), whereas only hostile ageism predicted more succession tension. Consumption and identity tension as well as hostile ageism predicted fewer intentions to help older adults, whereas benevolent ageism predicted greater behavioral intentions. Implications and future directions are discussed.","PeriodicalId":46132,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Intergenerational Relationships","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2022-08-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46155370","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Overall, three key themes emerged: the impact of intergenerational activities on adolescents and aged care residents, and effective intergenerational activities. Thoughtfully planned and implemented activities appear to be the most successful. Intergenerational activities can enrich the lives of participants, but the mechanisms of action are poorly understood. Further research is warranted to develop theoretical understandings of intergenerational activities and rigorous evaluation tools.","PeriodicalId":46132,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Intergenerational Relationships","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2022-05-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45635017","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Face-to-face interaction between generations did decrease significantly, while connections via technology increased somewhat less. About a third of MAs (35%) and OAs (36%) were lonely, compared to 48% of YAs (p = .003), and a higher percentage of YAs (57%) reported being “more lonely” now, compared to MAs (36%) and OAs (41%). OAs reported the least stress; 42% reported low/very low levels of stress compared to YAs (9%) and MAs (20%). Physical exercise and “being in nature” were most often used by all generations to deal with stress.
