| summary | The research concerns the impact of stereotypes of the elderly on their performance on a memory task. The studies examined specifically the role of contact with the young (intergenerational contact) and situational anxiety in the stereotype threat-performance link, in two populations: French and Indonesian elderly. Intergenerational contact has beneficial effects i.e. it buffers the deleterious effects of stereotype threat on the performance of the elderly participants in both countries. Importantly, though anxiety mediates the threat – performance link in both populations, country/culture influences the type of anxiety that predominates: Performance anxiety for the French, and Intergroup anxiety for the Indonesians. This was partly explained by the self-construal associated with individualistic (France) and collectivistic (Indonesia) cultures, which may determine how the threat situation is perceived by the participants. |
