“…For example, in North America, measurement scales that assess the scope and prevalence of ageism in everyday life include the Ageism Survey (see McGuire et al 2008;Palmore 2004) and the Relating to Older People Evaluation questionnaire (see Allen et al 2008;Cherry and Palmore 2008). In Europe, the European Social Survey (ESS) has been widely applied to investigate ageist attitudes, the prevalence of age discrimination at national levels, and to offer cross-country comparisons (see Swift et al 2018;Chap. 27, in this volume).…”

“…They use an empiricist approach (as defined by Snellman in this section) to classify measures according to five possible aspects of ageism in the labour market: recruitment/retention, performance, training, interaction with older colleagues, and structural ageism. This chapter, as well as the chapter by Swift et al (2018;Chap. 27), provides an excellent resource for readers who wish to become familiar with the use of publicly available datasets.…”

“…30), on the other hand, provide practical tools for the assessment of ageism in various settings (general society, health and long-term care, and the labour force) and among different target populations (older adults, professionals, adult children, family members, and young children). Swift et al (2018), Abuladze and Perek-Bialas (2018), and Mendonça et al (2018) take into account cross-cultural and national considerations. This is particularly important given the fact that ageism is a social phenomenon that does not only occur at the individual level, but rather is affected by socio-cultural aspects (Cuddy et al 2005;Vauclair et al 2016).…”

Research is critical to assess the prevalence, origins, and consequences of ageism as well as the potential effectiveness of various interventions to fight ageism. A major challenge associated with the assessment of ageism is the fact that being seen as ageist is generally considered to be negative. Most people do not wish to be seen as ageist (Cherry et al. 2015) and so will respond to questions about ageism with caution. Moreover, ageism is highly prevalent and often unnoticed, because it is so ingrained in our lives (Perdue and Gurtman 1990). This is why implicit measures of ageism are recommended to supplement explicit measures (Shiovitz-Ezra et al. 2016). Another challenge associated with the assessment of ageism concerns its subjective nature (Ayalon 2016; Voss et al. 2017). In order to acknowledge an event as ageist, one has to notice the event, interpret it as ageist, and then cite ageism as the cause of the event. Any of these three processes can impact one's willingness to acknowledge ageism. The social context plays an important role, as society clearly defines events as ageist or non-ageist based on current norms and expectations. For instance, whereas asking a job applicant his or her age is the norm in some countries, in other countries asking such a question is not considered acceptable. Hence, the subjective nature of ageism should be acknowledged (Ayalon 2016; Kornadt et al. 2015). In the first chapter of this section (2018; Chap. 25), Snellman argues that most research on ageism to date has focused on empirical data. Less attention has been paid to aspects such as the normative value applied to ageism and theoretical or
