Knowledge on cognitive aging and job-related well-being: Ageism as moderator?
Studies on cognitive ageing and professionals with older people highlight the role of ageism stereotypes in explaining various findings. Much research shows that knowledge is an important factor which contributes to forming of stereotypes and prejudices but there are so many situational influences which affect behavior. Also, better acquaintance with one’s professional domain, usually results in less experienced job-related stress. The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between knowledge on cognitive aging, ageist stereotypes and stress in professionals working with older people. The study sample consisted of professional working with elderly (doctors, nurses, social workers and physiotherapists) in retirement homes and geriatric ward in hospitals. Data were collected on-line, upon contacting the retirement homes and hospital. Participants completed the Knowledge of Memory Aging Questionnaire (KMAQ), Fraboni Scale of Ageism (FSA) which measure ageist stereotypes, Job-related Affective Well-being Scale (JAWS) to assess job-related emotional reactions and the General Psychopatological Difficulites Quesstionaire (CORE-OM). Relationships between these constructs were examined and we hypothesized a negative relationship between knowledge on cognitive aging, ageist attitudes and job-related well-being. We also predicted a moderating effect of ageist stereotypes on knowledge on cognitive aging and job-related well-being. Results confirmed these expectations and they are discussed according to recent findings on ageism with regard to various aspects of stress and pscyhopatological problems.
