Description

Soondool Chung, Ahyoung Lee, and Ju-Hyun Kim published a 2023 study on how media portrayals of older people feed conflict between generations in South Korea. The country aged fast after decades of rapid change, leaving young and old with very different life experience. Scarce jobs and resources sharpen the tension.

The team reanalyzed survey data from one thousand Korean adults. They tested whether prejudice against older people carries the effect of media portrayals onto perceived generational conflict. It did: portrayals shaped prejudice, and prejudice shaped conflict views. Trust between generations showed a protective pattern, linking to lower conflict and softening the media effect. The study points to media habits and trust building as levers for easing age tensions.
