“…The vulnerability narrative is also concordant with negative age stereotypes of incompetence, which underpin age discrimination in the workplace, in health and social care, and in the provision of goods and services (Levy et al, 2020;Swift et al, 2017). Age stereotypes can also inform the ways we interact with older people, such as using overly patronizing gestures or tones (Chasteen et al, 2020; see also Fisher & Ryan, 2021, for a discussion of gender stereotypes during . This is costly not only to individuals' health and well-being (Jackson et al, 2019), but also to the economy.…”

In this article, we outline how the response to the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic has the potential to fundamentally change how we think and feel about our own age, and how we think and feel about other age groups. Specifically, we outline how discourse surrounding the pandemic has strengthened the homogeneous view of older adults as vulnerable, has socially stigmatized being an older adult, and has exacerbated hostile and benevolent expressions of ageism. We explore the impact of these changing dynamics on intergenerational cohesion and relations, and propose that understanding theories of ageism will be essential for how we handle future pandemics in order to reduce the potential negative impact of crises on individuals as well as on communities and societies.

“…These papers make important contributions to the many inequalities exposed during the pandemic. We are aware that further research is underway specifically addressing other types of inequalities including gender equalityexamining issues such as gendered divisions of labour, gender stereotypes and roles, responses to threat, systemic inequalities in the wake of COVID-19 (Fisher and Ryan, 2021). More generally, this research highlights both the need for and the potential impacts of accounting and accountability research concerned with inequalities.…”

PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to discuss the themes emerging from the first studies exploring accounting, accountability and management practices during the COVID-19 pandemic and coming from a diversity of experiences, across countries, organizations and individuals. In so doing, the paper gives an overview of the most recent findings about the role of accounting and accountability in times of crisis that are hosted in this special issue of Accounting, Auditing and Accountability Journal (AAAJ).Design/methodology/approachThe paper draws together and identifies emerging themes related to the current COVID-19 pandemic and its impacts on accounting, accountability and management practices and considers how the studies in this issue extend one’s knowledge of accounting and contribute to accounting research.FindingsThree emerging themes are drawn and their contribution to accounting scholarship is discussed. The first theme deals with the role of accounting and numbers in supporting governmental responses to COVID-19. The second theme considers accounting practices used to make exceptional decisions at the organizational level in times of crisis. The third theme addresses a relevant frontier of research into accounting and inequalities.Practical implicationsIn considering the diverse contributions of this special issue, the paper points out how uncertainty and change can impact the design, use and understanding of accounting, management and accountability practices and can be accepted by scholars and practitioners as part of such practices.Originality/valueThis paper provides a timely and comprehensive picture of the first reflections and research findings on the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on one’s interpretation of accounting, accountability and management practices.

“…The perspectives presented here illustrate the contribution of social psychology in understanding why COVID-19 has had such an impact on intergroup inequality. They also highlight paths for future research, including research that challenges binary notions of gender (Fisher & Ryan, 2021) and homogenous representations of older people (Swift & Chasteen, 2021), that tests messaging emphasizing the contribution of immigrants during the pandemic (Esses & Hamilton, 2021), and which positions the experiences of blacks and people of color as central in exploring anti-racism (Marshburn et al, 2021).…”

“…Second, we focus on intergroup inequality -how the pandemic has exacerbated gender inequality (Fisher & Ryan, 2021) and ageism (Swift & Chasteen, 2021), influenced xenophobia and attitudes toward immigration (Esses & Hamilton, 2021), and encouraged greater awareness of racial inequality (Marshburn et al, 2021). Third, we turn to worldviews during COVID-19, examining the flourishing of conspiracy theories (Douglas, 2021) and science skepticism (Rutjens et al, 2021), and threats to the self, presented by the pandemic (Kruglanski et al, 2021).…”

The impact of COVID-19 on our way of life is yet to be fully understood. However, social psychology theory and research offer insights into its effect on social attitudes and behaviors, and here we gather the views of a unique group of experts in group processes and intergroup relations. Group processes and intergroup relations are major factors in social resilience and change arising from the COVID-19 pandemic. This special issue was developed to foreground the crucial role of group processes and intergroup relations in the COVID-19 pandemic. This article provides an overview of the areas explored in the special issue. First, we focus on the impact on societies, covering the evolution of intergroup processes during the pandemic, leadership, social connectedness, cultural differences in responses, and social development. Second, we turn to intergroup inequality and focus on gender inequality, ageism, xenophobia, and racial bias during COVID-19. Third, we explore worldviews during the pandemic, specifically conspiracy theories, science skepticism, and existential threat. Finally, we focus on the pandemic’s impact on behaviors, covering virtual working, social activism, virtual ostracism, and conformity and deviance. We finish with a discussion of the value of social psychology in helping us understand the impact of COVID-19 on social attitudes and behavior. As this special issue shows, group processes and intergroup relations are central to the ways that individuals and society is dealing with the challenges of this pandemic.
