metadata.name: dc.description.abstract
metadata.value: The work is devoted to the analysis of phenomena associated with the aging period: stereotypes
  about aging and learned helplessness. For several decades, modern society has been
  facing the problem of improving the quality of life of older people in the face of increasing life
  expectancy. The formation of aging strategies at earlier stages is considered as one of the most
  progressive approaches to improving the quality of life. However, the use of these strategies
  is mediated by both negative and positive factors. Our analysis shows that at the junction of
  two specific psychological phenomena — stereotypes about aging and learned helplessness,
  there may be another little-studied mechanism — stereotype-based helplessness. Our analysis
  showed that stereotypes about aging are widespread and have a variety of effects, including
  positive ones, however, the power of negative effects is several times higher than positive ones.
  In turn, learned helplessness is a mechanism when, based on his/her negative experience, a
  person stops trying to achieve any result. We suggested that the basis for such helplessness
  can be not only the direct experience acquired by a person, but also the stereotypes one has
  learned. The concept introduced by us has a high potential for both theoretical and practical
  applications. We believe that a decrease in activity caused by stereotype-based helplessness
  can cause accelerated processes of curtailment of mental functions during aging, as a result,
  the study of the mechanisms of stereotype-based helplessness will, on the one hand, expand
  our understanding of the mechanisms of aging, first of all, evaluate this mechanism as a risk
  factor for productive aging, on the other hand, understanding the psychological predictors of
  stereotype-based helplessness will help in the future to create practical techniques to reduce
  the risks of its manifestation.
