This article examines how “the elderly” is constructed in New Zealand online news media. By employing a critical framing analysis to challenge ageist practices, conceptually, the study adds to our knowledge of research methodologies in the field of adult development. Online news media articles were collected and analyzed to understand constructions of older adults as “elderly” over an 18-month period before, during, and since the COVID pandemic. Results demonstrated that the term “elderly” was framed powerlessly, in predominantly negative (74%) stereotypical messages about older adults. Positive stereotypes (26% of data) used human impact framing. Associations of “elderly” with being vulnerable, declining, and an individual or societal burden have serious implications, notably for the media in their role of both constructing and reflecting societal attitudes and actions towards older adults. Suggestions are offered to encourage reframing societal attitudes and promoting healthy adult development through age-equality messages that do away with the term “elderly.”

被称为“老年人”影响成人发展:对新西兰在线新闻媒体 COVID 期间持久年龄歧视的批判性分析

本文探讨了新西兰在线新闻媒体是如何构建“老年人”的。通过采用批判性框架分析来挑战年龄歧视实践,从概念上讲,该研究增加了我们对成人发展领域研究方法的了解。收集并分析了在线新闻媒体文章,以了解在 COVID 大流行之前、期间和之后的 18 个月期间老年人“老年人”的结构。结果表明,“老年人”一词被无能为力地框定,主要是关于老年人的负面(74%)刻板印象。积极的刻板印象(26% 的数据)使用了人类影响框架。“老年人”与脆弱、衰退以及个人或社会负担的关联具有严重的影响,尤其是媒体在构建和反映社会对老年人的态度和行为方面的作用。建议通过废除“老年人”一词的年龄平等信息来鼓励重塑社会态度并促进健康的成人发展。
