This UROP project investigates a therapeutic writing where people would write honestly about their feelings to overcome emotional burdens, as an easily accessible, practical and affordable way to maintain good mental health. As the mental well-being encompasses many different aspects, this research specifically focuses on burnout and emotional experiences. The intervention study was conducted over a week with five different time points of pre-survey, three writing interventions and postsurvey. Whether the participant’s well-being conditions have improved or not after the interventions have been evaluated using statistical analysis. Multiculturalism, Social Judgments and Decisions Supervisor: CHAO Melody Man Chi / MGMT Student: NG Ying Lam / ECOF Course: UROP1100, Summer Stereotypes often portray old adults as ill-tempered and easily upset. However, empirical and neurological studies have shown the opposite, that the elderly are more capable than younger adults in controlling their emotions, while increase in age tends to change emotional expression tendencies positively. The biased view on emotional expression of the elderly may have its root in the facial features of old adults, such as wrinkles and folds, which makes the emotion of the elderly harder to be interpreted accurately. Tendencies of the elderly experiencing relatively fewer intense emotional experiences may also create a misimpression that the elderly lack empathy. The existence of emotional-related stereotypes over old adults might create hindrances for the elderly in job-seeking and daily communication with others.

We aim to use the intersubjective perception approach to explore the whether and how individuals endorse the ideal worker norms as their personal values across generations, work positions and cultural backgrounds; (2) their intersubjective perceptions of the ideal worker norms; (3) examine its association with employee’s psychological well-being and work-related behavioral patterns.
