Café Connections: Investigating Factors Motivating Older Adults to Seek or Avoid Intergenerational Contact.
Int J Aging Hum Dev
December 2024
Department of Psychology, Chemnitz University of Technology, Chemnitz, Germany.
Article Synopsis
- Creating interaction opportunities between different age groups can help reduce ageism and promote solidarity, but age segregation in public spaces is still an issue.
- A study found that older adults often avoid younger-frequented places like coffeeshops due to feelings of exclusivity and stereotypes, yet they are motivated to engage because of the potential for learning.
- Larger studies confirmed that those with positive beliefs about younger people and a desire to learn are more likely to seek intergenerational contact, emphasizing the need for more age-inclusive environments to encourage interactions.

Hence, older employees would like to avoid it, but those who experience it may discriminate against their older peers. WADE may be associated with Age Discrimination of Peers (ADP), and this relationship can be moderated by Occupational Health Literacy (OHL).

Many countries are experiencing a post-pandemic surge in hospital utilization along with accelerating population aging. Maximal hospital efficiency is required, with utilization evidence essential for identifying appropriate hospital or broader health system reforms. We offer an investigation of the most recent pre-COVID year (2019-2020) of complete population-based hospital utilization data to describe and compare the use of hospitals by older (65+) and younger (0-64) people admitted for inpatient services in Canada.
