Tiivistelmä:This article examines the role of stereotypes for employment discrimination against older candidates. The first study examined the content of stereotypes about older workers, concentrating on warmth and competence as the two core dimensions in social judgement. It was found that older employees were perceived as less competent but warmer than younger employees. Studies 2 and 3 examined how these stereotypes interact with job requirements to predict age bias in an experimental setting. Findings indicated that older candidates were discriminated against, even if the job primarily required warmth-related qualities, and independently of evaluators' own age or professional experience in human resources.
