This study examines the attitudes of young people in 5 such countries toward older adults from 3 perspectives: 1) intergenerational differences, 2) resource competition, and 3) personal value orientation. Methods: We used data from the World Values Survey Wave 6 (2010-2012) to examine the attitudes of young people toward older adults. Age-related stereotypes comprised two domains: 1) "disproportionate political and economic power of older adults," and 2) "positive views of older adults." Results: Young people who valued "autonomy and achievement" viewed older adults as having disproportionate political and economic power (mainly in China). Socioeconomically disadvantaged youth also held negative views of older adults (mainly in Taiwan, China, and Singapore). Young people who perceived a sense of control over their lives held positive views of older adults and disagreed with the stereotype that older adults "have disproportionate political and economic power." In most of the Asian countries studied, young people who valued "social norms and community" had favorable views of older adults. The attitudes of young people toward older adults can be attributed to resource competition and personal values. Education significantly reduced prejudice against older adults (mainly in Taiwan and Singapore). Conclusions: As populations in Asian countries rapidly age, intergenerational resource competition and growing individualism may increase prejudice toward older adults. Education and policy intervention are needed to improve intergenerational communication and create a healthier social environment. |
