The current state of the art disregards consequences of age-related stereotypes on the well-being of older adults. There is a lack of research on the impact of age-related stereotypes on eudaimonic well-being. The mechanisms through which age-related stereotypes operate on well-being are not well understood.

The measure employed makes it difficult to pinpoint the distinct influence of self-stereotyping independently of that of other closely-related processes, - The entire sample of the study on age-based stereotype threat was under the age of 66, - Research on the impact of older age on well-being remains inconsistent due to high inter-individual variability

Social desirability does not confound reports of wellbeing or of socio-demographic attributes by older women (2010) · Ageing and Society · cited 17× · doi
Overall, while the findings support the general validity of most of the self-report measures in studies of normal and successful ageing, consideration of social desirability response bias in the interpretation of self-reports of low levels of some key constructs (anxiety, hostility, stress, self-perceived cognitive deficits) is warranted.

Subjective Age Correlates: A Research Note (1986) · The Gerontologist · cited 145× · doi
The complex and varied nature of self-perceived age implies an equally complex set of interrelated variables. The study notes that more research is needed to determine the relationships between subjective age and various independent variables. The paper suggests that controlling for age and cohorts is a challenge in future research.
