In the case of compassionate ageism (also known as benevolent ageism), so-called positive or warm perceptions of older people are combined with attributes of incompetence, frailty, dependence, passivity, and victimhood (Binstock, 1985; Cary, Chasteen, & Remedios, 2017; Marier & Revelli, 2017) , reflecting the mixed content of age stereotypes. The presumed ownership of the "elderly" stems from compassionate ageism and mixed age stereotypes which position older individuals as worthy of, and dependent upon, the support of younger people. Given that many younger individuals often adjust their behavior when interacting with older people according to age stereotypes they hold (O"Connor & St. Pierre, 2004) , it is likely that those engaging in helping behaviors during the COVID-19 pandemic, such as caremongering, are doing so in ways that have long-term implications for older recipients of this help.	./cache/cord-309267-ihc7h8ik.txt	./txt/cord-309267-ihc7h8ik.txt
