Abstract in brief

The study investigates how different factors like gender, age, grandparents' health, and quality of contact influence children and adolescents' perceptions of the elderly, finding that positive and frequent contact with grandparents leads to more favorable views.
Girls generally hold more positive attitudes toward the elderly than boys, and ageism tends to be lowest among 10 to 12-year-olds, possibly due to developmental or stereotype-related reasons.
The findings suggest that improving the quality and frequency of interactions between children and their grandparents can help reduce stereotypes and prejudice against older adults.]
