Abstract(s)
A velhice é uma fase da vida que tem sido socialmente desvalorizada e negativamente
representada, pelo que tal acaba por se reflectir na auto-percepção que os idosos têm. Assim, o
envelhecimento da população Portuguesa está de certa forma a emergir novos problemas sociais que se podem transmitir na discriminação social perante este grupo. Esta discriminação pode ser
observada através de comportamentos, atitudes, estereótipos e preconceitos presentes na
interacção social para com a pessoa idosa, bem como através da comunicação social. O objectivo primordial do presente estudo passa por perceber o próprio ponto de vista da pessoa idosa, ou seja,
a sua percepção da ocorrência de actos discriminatórios, tentando perceber também se há diferenças na percepção do idoso em zonas rurais e urbanas da Covilhã e Fundão. Aplicando um instrumentos específico para tal, o “Ageism Survey” concebido por Erdman B. Palmore, irá tentar perceber-se a percepção da discriminação social das pessoas idosas, pelo que a amostra irá ser constituída por idosos residentes em várias regiões da Beira Interior, como Covilhã, Fundão, Alpedrinha, Vila do Carvalho, Belmonte, Teixoso, Tortosendo, Canhoso, Aldeia de São Francisco de Assis, Ferro, São Jorge da Beira, Unhais da Serra, Boidobra, Caria, Aldeia de Joannes, Janeiro de Cima e Silvares.
Old age is a phase of life that has been socially devalued and negatively represented, wich turns out to reflect on the self-perception of older people. The aging of the Portuguese population is somehow emerging new social problems that can be transmitted in social discrimination against this group. This discrimination can be observed through behaviors, attitudes, stereotypes and prejudices in social interaction towards the elderly, as well as through the media. The primary objective of this study is to realize one's own point of view of the elderly, their perception of the occurrence of discriminatory acts, and try to understand whether there are differences in the perception of the elderly in rural and urban areas of Covilha and Fundão. Applying a specific instruments, the "Ageism Survey" designed by Erdman B. Palmore, it will be tried to understand the perception of social discrimination of the elderly. The sample will consist of elderly residents in various regions of Beira Interior, Covilha, Fundão, Alpedrinha, Vila do Carvalho, Belmonte, Teixoso, Tortosendo, Canhoso, Village of St. Francis of Assisi, Iron, São Jorge da Beira, Unhais da Serra, Boidobra, Caria, Village of Joannes, January Cima and Silvares.
