Ageism in Undergraduate Psychology Texts.
Whitbourne, Susan Krauss; Hulicka, Irene M.
American Psychologist, v45 n10 p1127-36 Oct 1990
A study of 139 textbooks written over the last 40 years. Recent texts are found to give more coverage to the psychology of later life, and many seek to present a positive image of aging and older adults. These treatments, however, often contain material that perpetuates stereotypes. (EVL)
