Sex Stereotyping of the Elderly by Children.
Fillmer, H. Thompson
Educational Gerontology, v8 n1 p77-85 Jan-Feb 1982
Investigated whether elementary pupils stereotype older people, especially by sex. Photographs were shown to students, who were then asked to describe the person. Students selected more negative adjectives to describe photographs of older persons, especially older men. Found boys much less willing to associate with the elderly. (Author/JAC)
