Annotation
This study explores the portrayal of older adults in UK magazine advertisements, according to a set of six descriptive types. It also examines portrayal differences in (older)age-targeted vs. general readership advertising. Previous studies on old age stereotyping, inter-group and social identity theory underly this analysis.
