TL;DR: In this paper, the Risks of Ageism Model (RAM) is proposed to show how ageism and attitudes toward age can impact the six proposed determinants of active aging via three pathways; stereotype embodiment, the process through which stereotypes are internalized and become self-relevant, stereotype threat, the perceived risk of conforming to negative stereotypes about one's group, and age discrimination, unfair treatment based on age.

TL;DR: Three studies investigated whether the positive attitudinal outcomes associated with direct contact might also stem from a more indirect form of intergenerational relationship: extended contact, and found that extended contact was associated with more positive attitudes towards older adults.

TL;DR: Three studies using age‐diverse North American participants reveal that positive older age stereotype characteristics are viewed less favorably as criteria for job hire, and even when the job role is low‐status, a younger stereotype profile tends to be preferred.

TL;DR: In the light of social and economic challenges posed by rapid population ageing, there is an increased need to understand ageism and its consequences and the circumstances that contribute to more or less negative attitudes to age as discussed by the authors.

TL;DR: Results showed that neither positive nor negative contact generalised blatant ageism, but the effect of negative, but not positive, contact on the denial of humanness to CHRs generalised to subtle ageism towards older adults.
