Abstract
The authors conducted a systematic review of factors that moderate the influence of intergenerational contact on ageism. MEDLINE (using PubMed), EMBASE, Scopus, Web of Science, and Proquest databases were searched, using terms and keywords including intergenerational conflict, intergenerational relation, intergeneration gap, and ageism, and no date restrictions. The search yielded a total of 247 articles, of which 23 met eligibility criteria for the review. Findings revealed that the experience of ageism for older adults is widespread and highly prevalent in Western and Eastern countries. In addition, culture, age, and gender played important roles in young people's decisions to contact older adults. These factors were important moderators of intergenerational relationships and ageism. Robust, trans-disciplinary research is needed to examine factors related to intergenerational relations, particularly with older adults in clinical populations.
