Abstract: O estudo analisa as representações sociais sobre o envelhecimento no masculino e no feminino, através da Técnica de Associação Livre de Palavras. Confirma-se a prevalência de estereotipia idadista negativa, associando-se envelhecimento a dependência, bem como o impacto homogeneizante da institucionalização. Foi, ainda, possível destacar a emergência de alguma diferença na classificação do envelhecer no masculino e no feminino. O primeiro ancora na proeminência posicional da dependência e da perda. Já no envelhecer no feminino emergiram atributos como resistência, ternura e dedicação, associados aos papéis sexuais designadamente ao cuidar. Também, a dimensão estética/física surge como representação do feminino.
The study analyses the social representations about male and female ageing, through the technique of Free Association of Words. It confirms the prevalence of negative ageism stereotyping, the association of aging with dependence, as well as the homogenizing impact of institutionalization. Also, it was possible to highlight the emergence of some differences in the classification of male and female aging. The first anchors mostly on dependency and on the loss of functionality. In the female aging emerged attributes such as strength, kindness and dedication, related with gender roles, namely with care. The aesthetic and physical representations, also, appears exclusively in the representations of older women.
L’étude analyse les représentations sociales sur le vieillissement au masculin et au féminin, à travers la Technique de l’Association Libre de Mots. On y confirme la prévalence/prédominance de stéréotypes âgistes négatifs, par l’association de vieillissement à la dépendance, tout autant que l’impact homogénéisant de l’institutionnalisation. Il nous fut aussi donné de mettre en lumière l’émergence d’une certaine différence dans le classement du vieillir au masculin et au féminin. Le premier s’ancre sur la proéminence positionnelle de la dépendance et à la perte. Pour ce qui est du vieillissement féminin, on voit émerger des attributs tels que la résistance, la tendresse et le don de soi, liés aux rôles de genre spécialement à l’attention portée à autrui. La dimension esthétique/physique apparaît, elle aussi, comme représentation du féminin.
