| Annotation | A literature search revealed no ageism scale suitable for use with older people. It was felt useful to develop a scale to measure ageism that could be used with this population, and which might be used to explore the relationship between ageist attitudes, social withdrawal, and an existential form of dementia. A twenty item scale was developed. This article describes the inquiry pilot, the questionnaire's reliability with younger adults, and the reliability of the ageism scale with older people. (RH). |
