Resumo: We seek to understand (a) if the penta-dimensional structure (dimensions: adaptability, value of older people to the organization, conscientiousness and loyalty; capital and generosity; performance) of the measuring instrument of managers’ attitudes towards older workers previously developed is replicated in a sample of university students and (b) whether these attitudes help to explain the decisions of students. The sample involved 278 university students. The main results are the following: (a) the penta-dimensional structure obtained with Portuguese and Brazilian managers is replicated in the sample of students; (b) although students recognize qualities in older workers, they tend to reveal discriminatory practices with respectto such employees, and those practices appear to be more pronounced than those observed with managers.

A amostra envolveu 278 estudantes universitários. Os principais resultados são os seguintes: (a) a estrutura penta-dimensional obtida com gestores portugueses e brasileiros replica-se na amostra de estudantes; (b) apesar de os estudantes reconhecerem qualidades nos trabalhadores mais velhos, revelam inclinação para práticas discriminatórias relativamente a esses trabalhadores, e essa inclinação parece ser mais acentuada do que a identificada em gestores.Instituto de Psicologia - Universidade de Brasília2017-02-02info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://periodicos.unb.br/index.php/revistaptp/article/view/17971Psicologia: Teoria e Pesquisa; V. 32, N. 2Psicologia: Teoria e Pesquisa; V. 32, N. 2Psicologia: Teoria e Pesquisa; V. 32, N. 2Psicologia: Teoria e Pesquisa; V. 32, N. 21806-34460102-3772reponame:Psicologia (Universidade de Brasília.
