Beyond Stereotypes: Using Socioemotional Selectivity Theory to Improve Messaging to Older Adults

Laura L. Carstensen et al.

Summary: The diverse characteristics of the over-65 age group pose challenges in effective marketing and public-health communications. Older individuals may overlook messages assuming they are frail and incompetent, while ignoring age-related vulnerabilities is also problematic. Marketing efforts should consider age differences in motivation and preferences, with emotional goals prioritized as time horizons diminish. Positive messages and products focusing on immediate enjoyment are remembered and preferred by older individuals, emphasizing individual strengths and resilience can be particularly appealing.

This structured approach may aid future studies in evaluating engagement in diverse activities.

But at the age of 85? Forget it!: Internalized ageism, a barrier to technology use

Hanna Kottl et al.

Summary: The study revealed that internalized ageism is pervasive in older adults' narratives about not using EICT, reflected in areas such as competence and learning, relevance and use, technology design, and intergenerational contact. The research calls for inclusive technology designs, ageism-free EICT learning environments, and awareness campaigns on lifelong learning to help narrow the digital divide and promote optimal aging experiences for older individuals.
