Analyzed data from 512 respondents through an online survey conducted in February-March 2022.
Utilized hierarchical regression analysis to examine sociodemographic factors, cognitive factors, and elderly experience factors.
Determined the impact of aging anxiety, elderly image, contact experience, and behaviors on ageism.
30s exhibited the highest ageism awareness, while 20s showed the lowest, highlighting significant age group differences.
Sociodemographic factors had limited explanatory power, but cognitive and experience factors improved explained variance (R²=.714).
Elderly image, contact experience, and behaviors were consistent mitigating factors across age groups, while aging anxiety remained a risk factor solely in the 40s.

Examines ageism factors in MZ generation compared to older age groups, suggesting the need for tailored interventions.
