What is Terror Management Theory

This chapter focuses on ageism, which is one of today's noteworthy issues that should be addressed carefully. Ageism is a multidimensional concept whose roots we can find in different fields and whose consequences we can experience in many areas of life. It can affect the decisions we make, the policies we create, attitudes and behaviors, and health. Therefore, efforts to understand ageism and proposing solutions to reduce it are of great importance. In this chapter, the factors underlying ageism are discussed in the light of different theories and the problems that ageism may create in the workplace are touched upon. Ways to combat ageism are examined and suggestions are given.
