Ageism de Sheri R Levy

Ageism

Editat de Sheri R Levy, Jamie Macdonald, Todd D Nelson, Ann Bettencourt
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 21 mar 2016
The worldwide population of adults ages 60 and over has rapidly become the fastest growing age group, making the study of ageism a pressing social issue. Collectively, contributors to this issue draw on strong theoretical traditions and sophisticated multi-methods (cross-sectional, longitudinal, and experimental) to offer empirical evidence toward a greater understanding of the role of ageism in health and employment contexts. This special issue sets the stage for the next wave of international research on ageism across the lifecycle and for making greater progress on designing and implementing effective interventions and public policies supporting older adults and positive intergenerational relations.

Public țintă

The issue has broad interdisciplinary appeal, and would be of particular interest in psychology (e.g., social, developmental, geropsychology, health, clinical, counseling), business, communications, gerontology, medicine, psychology, public health, social work, and sociology. The issue would be useful for undergraduate and graduate courses in these fields.  The discussion of policy, especially age discrimination and bias in the workplace and medical field, will be of interest to legislators.

Likely readers for this issue are in higher education including scholars, undergraduate and graduate students. However, the relevance of the work for current social issues may draw a large audience. The issue or individual articles can be used as supplements for advanced undergraduate or graduate courses in psychology (e.g., social, developmental, geropsychology, health, clinical, counseling), business, communications, gerontology, medicine, psychology, public health, social work, and sociology.
