Summary
Intergenerational communication occurs in relationships that range from the intimate and long term, such as parent and child, to the superficial and fleeting, such as clerk and customer. This chapter examines the critical role of perceived age and stereotyping on the communication within those relationships and the emotional experiences of the younger and older individuals involved. Drawing on models of the intergenerational communication process and age stereotype research, the chapter considers: (1) the ways that intergroup processes, age cues, and negative age stereotypes may contribute to communication with harmful consequences for older individuals; (2) the alternative potential of positive age stereotypes and their interactional cues to foster mutually beneficial intergenerational communication and emotional experiences for older and younger people; and (3) strategies to counter negative stereotyping of those in other age groups and build positive, emotionally satisfying intergenerational relationships.
