Thats why they prefer the negative stories about younger people, who are seen as having a higher status in our society,” said Doctor Silvia Knoblock-Westerwick, of Ohio State University.Knoblock-Westerwick and her co-auth
31、or Matthias Hastall, of Zeppelin University in Friendrichshafen, Germany, studied 276 German adults, including 178 aged 18 to 30 and 98 between 55 and 60.
