社会对老年人的刻板印象及教育对策研究
Research on Stereotypes of the Elderly in Society and Educational Strategies

社会对老年人的刻板印象多种多样，这些印象往往基于年龄、性别、健康状况等因素而有所不同。其中普遍存在着年龄刻板印象和性别刻板印象，这种错误的刻板印象，容易对老年人的身心健康、社会地位和整体福祉产生深远影响。同时，社会对老年人的歧视会导致老年人身体健康受损，增加健康风险，影响康复效果，以及导致心理健康恶化，经济地位降低，社会参与受限，生活质量下降，甚至是认知能力衰退，医疗资源分配不公，法律权益受损。对老年人诸多刻板印象产生的深层次原因是社会文化包括传统年龄观和传统社会性别观念因素的影响。要改变对老年人的刻板印象，需要从社会、文化、政策多方面入手。
Society has various stereotypes about the elderly, and these impressions often differ based on age, gender, health status, and other factors. There are widespread age and gender stereotypes about the elderly in society. Such wrong stereotypes can easily have a profound impact on the physical and mental health, social status, and overall well-being of the elderly. Society’s discrimination against the elderly will cause damage to the physical health of the elderly, increase health risks, affect rehabilitation effects, lead to deterioration of mental health, reduced economic status, limited social participation, reduced quality of life, and even cognitive decline, unfair distribution of medical resources, and damaged legal rights. The underlying reason that leads to many stereotypes about the elderly is the influence of social and cultural factors, including traditional age views and traditional social gender concepts. To change the stereotypes of the elderly, we need to start from many aspects of society, culture, and policy.
