Abstract

To investigate the current situation and influencing factors of ageism among 207 middle school students mainly in Beijing, an online questionnaire survey was conducted, and the geriatric discrimination scale formulated by Fraboni was used to investigate the current situation and influencing factors of geriatric discrimination among middle school students from five dimensions of cognition, social environment, social participation, emotion and behavior, and life status. It was found that middle school students scored 3-4 points on geriatric discrimination, which is the moderately biased consent range. Cognitive factors score 3.984, emotional and behavioral factors 3.566, life state evaluation 4.043, social participation 3.737, social environment 3.857. Overall, the level of discrimination is low. However, the level of discrimination in the dimensions of emotion and behavior, and social participation is significantly higher than in other dimensions. Based on OLS least squares regression, the degree of discrimination was related to age, gender, family structure, intergenerational communication, and life education level. The significance level of the association degree was below 0.05 or 0.01. In conclusion, we strongly recommend parents pay more attention to intergenerational communication during adolescent growth. Meanwhile, we should popularize life education in middle school classrooms, and build a social environment that respects and loves the elderly.
