A conceptual analysis of Ageism
Abstract
Presently the research on ageism is marked by numerous more or less diffuse definitions of the concept of ageism. Many studies investigate both the causes and consequences of ageism without a clear definition of the phenomenon. As a consequence the area is characterized by diverging research results which are hard to re-test and to compare. It is therefore difficult to obtain a framework on ageism.This article offers a conceptual clarification of ageism. Based on a review of the existing literature, a new definition of ageism is introduced. This definition is more explicit and complex than previous definitions. This has two purposes. Firstly, its clarity constitutes the foundation for higher reliability and validity in future research about ageism. Secondly, its complexity offers a new way of systemizing theories on ageism.

“Ageism is distinct in many ways from the other ”isms” and a direct comparison to racism and sexism, as in Butler’s definition, therefore does not seem reasonable. On the basis of the above mentioned weaknesses in Butler’s (1975) definition, it is problematic that many researchers are still using this definition as the…”

“Examples of this are so-called “compassionate stereotypes” (Binstock, 1983),“new ageism” (Kalish, 1979), and “pitying positive” (Tornstam, 2006) pointing to excessive negative perceptions of dependence of the elderly and their need for help.”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
