- Social representations of ageing shared by different age groups Clélia Maria Nascimento Schulze Psicología Ageing Positive agei ng Social stereotypes Intergroup relations Social representation The present study is focused on the social repres entations of ageing and positive ageing. 171 subjects composed 4 age groups cohorts (G1 18-25; G2 26-40; G3 41-55; G4 55+). A group of 69 elderly clients of a daily care institutional setting also responded to the stimulus material. All subjects were submitted to a free evocation task concerned with ag eing and positive ageing. Data were analyzed by software EVOC and SPAD. Results of the struct ural analyses show a negative representation of ageing given by the 171 subjects.Terms such as: wisdom, body, death, tiredness, loneliness among other categories composed the hypothetical central core of the representation of ageing. Data on positive ageing suggests a markedly positive view char acterized by items such as wisdom, experience, health and also autonomy and maturity among others. Factorial analysis show a more positive tone of representations produced mainly by youngsters and senior groups. Results were analyzed taking into account intergroup implicit processes and stereotypic answers were identified in the overall representation of ageing and in the responses of the younger group. 2011 artículo científico 1413-389X https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=513751437005 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=5137 Temas em Psicologia application/pdf Sociedade Brasileira de Psicologia Temas em Psicologia (Brasil) Num.1 Vol.19
