Stereotypes In Older Adults

Stereotypes, social biases, and misinformation are known to impact older adults lives in many different ways. When you are constantly being stereotyped as an older adult it can produce many trust issues. As an older adult, you could miss out on many genuine relationships with people because your trust is gone. Ultimately, an elder won’t be able to focus on building the ABCDE in a new relationship because there mind will be totally consumed with the way people are judging them based on stereotypes. That is why most elders don’t typically have a lot of established relationships with other elders and family. Thus causing a total decrease in an older adult’s self-confidence.
