Abstract

Ageism considered as stereotyping and discrimination towards age. Bigotry against older people can be detrimental for their health and well-being. The present study aims to find out the effect of gender (male and female) and staying condition (who stayed with old and who didn’t stay with old) on benevolent and hostile ageism. A total number of 98 participants have been selected by purposive sampling technique. The current study is a 2X2 factorial design. Results found young adults who are not staying with old have scored more in benevolent ageism than those who are staying with old people. Result from the simple effect analysis showed that female participants who are staying with old have more hostile ageism compare to those who are not staying with old.
