| Annotation | In the United Kingdom and Europe it has been found that ageism is the most commonly experienced form of prejudice. This article highlights some of the lesser-known negative consequences of ageism that permeate society. The study begins by examining some of the psychological processes underpinning ageism that older people may face by revealing how people of different ages use and apply the category labels `old' and `young'. The author argues that age categories are more than labels _ they are also imbued with both negative and positive meanings that denote status and power. (JL). |
