Sample Book Insights:

#1 The first five words or phrases that come to mind when you think of an old person are usually negative. However, this reflects the vast range of age beliefs that exist in different cultures, which ultimately determines how we age and how well we hear and remember.

#2 Age beliefs are mental maps of how we expect older people to behave based on age. They are the product of natural, internal processes that begin when we are babies and continue throughout our lives.

#3 Stereo types are the often-unconscious devices we use to quickly assess other people. They are often based on external social beliefs that we absorb uncritically from the external social world.

#4 The most harmful thing about negative age stereotypes is that they not only color our actions and judgments toward others, but they also influence how we think about ourselves and these thoughts can impact how we feel and act.
