Abstract

The Problem• Age categorization:• Age is part of everyone's identity;• We categorize others based on their age;• We all have a sense of somebody being 'old' or 'young';• But at what age exactly is a person seen as 'young' or 'old'?• Stereotyping and prejudice:• Stereotypes start with placing a person into a category; • In order to understand what people mean with prejudices someone is 'too young' or 'too old', we need to understand how people categorize age. Since ageism is under-researched, we do not know much about people's perception of when 'youth' ends and 'old age' starts.
