The Link of COVID-19-Related Beliefs and Information Sources to Ageism: Myth or Reality?

This study aimed to understand ambivalent ageism among younger adults during the pandemic by examining whether younger adults' beliefs around COVID-19 and the sources from which they received COVID-19 information were associated with the intensity of their ageism. For this aim, survey data were collected from individuals ages 18 to 44 between July and September 2021. Multiple hierarchical regression analysis revealed that benevolent ageism was more intense than hostile ageism when two subscales of ambivalent ageism-benevolent and hostile-were compared.

We systematically identified evidence-based intergenerational practices linked to program outcomes from peer-reviewed journal articles ( = 21) published between 2000 and 2019.
