    Abstract

    This article shows the results of a descriptive pilot study that measures stereotypes regarding ageing. The incidental sample of 78 students was drawn from a group of college students majoring in Primary School Education. The primary goal was to determine the existence of stereotypes associated with ageing using the CENVE questionnaire (Questionnaire on the Evaluation of Negative Stereotypes on Ageing, (Blanca, Sánchez y Trianes, 2005). The results revealed that stereotypes do, in fact, exist and that more educational outreach is required for both teachers and primary school students to dismiss negative stereotypes about the elderly.
