  Today, as the aging of the world accelerates, it is an urgent task to clarify
factors that prevent ageism. In this study, using hierarchical multiple
regression analysis of data from 40,869 people from 55 countries collected in
the World Values Survey Wave 6, we showed that after controlling for
demographic factors, stereotypes, a hungry spirit, and male chauvinism are
related to ageism, and that altruism, trust within and outside the family, and
trust in competition moderate the relationship between the independent and
dependent variables. Furthermore, data from Japan, which has the highest aging
rate and aging speed in the world, showed that these moderation relationships
are moderated.
