Abstract

Today, as the aging of the world accelerates, it is an urgent task to clarify factors that prevent ageism. In this study, using hierarchical multiple regression analysis of data from 40,869 people from 55 countries collected in the World Values Survey Wave 6, we showed that after controlling for demographic factors, stereotypes, a hungry spirit, and male chauvinism are related to ageism, and that altruism, trust within and outside the family, and trust in competition moderate the relationship between the independent and dependent variables. Furthermore, data from Japan, which has the highest aging rate and aging speed in the world, showed that these moderation relationships are moderated.
