BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Benevolent and hostile ageism are subtypes of ageism that characterize older adults as incompetent. With benevolent ageism, older adults are also viewed as warm. The COVID-19 pandemic has strained resources and prompted debates about priority for older adults versus other groups. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS: College students completed an online survey of how much priority should be given to older adults in three relevant healthcare-related scenarios and three relevant employment scenarios. RESULTS: Benevolent ageism significantly predicted higher priority for older adults to receive healthcare (triage, COVID-19 vaccine, COVID-19 testing) and employment resources (retention of job, working from home) while greater endorsement of hostile ageism significantly predicted lower priority ratings. DISCUSSION AND IMPLICATIONS: These findings replicate and extend past work. As the COVID-19 pandemic continues to wreak havoc on healthcare and employment resources, this study sheds light on one factor -- benevolent and hostile ageism -- that contributes to a greater understanding of prioritization views toward a vulnerable segment of the population.
