Overlooked and Underestimated: Experiences of Ageism in Young, Middle-Aged, and Older Adults

Abstract

The findings enhance our understanding of ageism across adulthood by considering the domains, perpetrators, and types of ageist expressions that adults of all ages encounter. They also suggest that interventions to reduce age bias will require multifaceted approaches that take into account the different forms that individuals experience across the life span.
