In this chapter, we propose a reflection on the challenges that doing social science research on ageing and digital technologies may pose in terms of age-related stereotypes that researchers risk to perpetuate and reinforce. To this aim, we draw on three pieces of research that the authors carried out in Italy, based on digital methods, social experiments and online methods. These methods are currently widely employed in the social sciences (Salganik, 2018) but less used in social science research on ageing (Peine & Neven, 2021).

Abstract
In this chapter, we propose a reflection on the challenges that doing social science research on ageing and digital technologies may pose in terms of age-related stereotypes that researchers risk to perpetuate and reinforce. To this aim, we draw on three pieces of research that the authors carried out in Italy, based on digital methods, social experiments and online methods. These methods are currently widely employed in the social sciences (Salganik, 2018) but less used in social science research on ageing (Peine & Neven, 2021).File in questo prodotto:
