This study is the first to provide a systematic overview and taxonomy of measures assessing perceived ageism. A systematic review according to PRISMA was conducted with the aim of descriptively presenting the body of existing perceived ageism measures. Of 14,135 identified articles, 95 were included. Our taxonomy sorted perceived ageism instruments according to forms of ageism (personal experience versus others’ experience); age group; context; global/situational; bene-/malevolent. Thirty-four multi-item measures were identified. The majority assessed global, malevolent forms of personally perceived experiences of ageism among older age groups in everyday life. Sufficient indicators of psychometric merit were only reported for few measures, including Nordic Age Discrimination Scale and Perceived Ageism Questionnaire. Despite the number of existing perceived ageism measures, only a few reported sufficient information on psychometric properties. This indicates the possibility of inaccurate prevalence estimates. Future research is needed to validate and diversify the body of perceived ageism measures.
