For this purpose, a cross-sectional quantitative empirical study of descriptive-correlational scope was designed. A sample of 314 Spaniards was formed (74% women, Medad = 38 years), selected according to a sampling by availability. The participants answered a selection of instruments to measure the constructs under study. On the collected data, descriptive and correlational analyzes were carried out. The results show that there are no differences in any of the variables studied according to sex, but there are greater negative stereotypes among those who live with older adults. Age is negatively associated with both stereotypes and fears and satisfaction with life. Finally, negative stereotypes about aging are linked to lower levels of life satisfaction projected to five years. The findings are discussed and directions for future studies in the area are indicated.La presente investigación se orientó a explorar las vinculaciones entre los estereotipos negativos sobre el envejecimiento, los temores respecto a la vejez, la satisfacción con la vida y ciertas características sociodemográficas. Con tal propósito, se diseñó un estudio empírico cuantitativo transversal, de alcance descriptivo-correlacional. Se conformó una muestra de 314 españoles (74% mujeres; Medad= 38 años), seleccionados según un muestreo por disponibilidad. Los participantes respondieron una selección de instrumentos para medir los constructos bajo estudio. Sobre los datos reunidos se ejecutaron análisis descriptivos y correlacionales. Los resultados muestran que no hay diferencias en ninguna de las variables estudiadas en función del sexo, pero sí se observan mayores estereotipos negativos entre quienes conviven con adultos mayores. La edad se asocia negativamente tanto a los estereotipos y temores como a la satisfacción con la vida. Finalmente, los estereotipos negativos sobre el envejecimiento se vinculan con menores niveles de satisfacción vital proyectada a cinco años. Se discuten los hallazgos y señalan direcciones para futuros estudios en el área.Universidad Nacional Mayor de San Marcos, Facultad de Psicología2020-07-01info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://revistasinvestigacion.unmsm.edu.pe/index.php/psico/article/view/1809210.15381/rinvp.v23i1.18092Revista de Investigación en Psicología; Vol. 23 No. 1 (2020); 43-56Revista de Investigación en Psicología; Vol. 23 Núm. 1 (2020); 43-561609-74751560-909Xreponame:Revistas - Universidad Nacional Mayor de San Marcosinstname:Universidad Nacional Mayor de San Marcosinstacron:UNMSMspahttps://revistasinvestigacion.unmsm.edu.pe/index.php/psico/article/view/18092/15145Derechos de autor 2020 Verónica López Fernández, Solana Salessi, Karen Johana González Restrepohttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessoai:ojs.csi.unmsm:article/180922020-07-03T00:04:20Z
