Workplace program aims to bust age stereotypes
NCT ID NCT07484165
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests a 12-session psychoeducational program designed to reduce negative attitudes toward older workers and improve well-being at work. Researchers will recruit 90 employed adults who frequently work with colleagues of different generations. Half will take the program, and half will receive a single educational session. The goal is to see if the program can reduce ageism and boost job satisfaction, social support, and psychological flexibility.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Psychoeducational programme
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could provide a practical, evidence-based program to reduce age-related stereotypes and improve job satisfaction and well-being in diverse workplaces.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early-stage trial (90 participants) testing a behavioral intervention, so results may not apply broadly. The program requires regular attendance, and benefits may not last long-term.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion Criteria: * Currently employed with at least five years of tenure in the organization or the relevant sector. At this stage of their career, attitudes toward colleagues from different generations are considered more likely to be deeply ingrained, making this profile particularly suitable for the intervention. * Performing tasks that involve frequent collaboration with colleagues from different generations. * Ability and willingness to attend the program sessions regularly. Exclusion Criteria: Workers who meet any of the following conditions will be excluded from the study: * Significant reading or linguistic comprehension difficulties that prevent them from participating adequately in psychoeducational sessions or completing assessment instruments. * Serious and destabilised medical or psychological disorders that may interfere with the normal development of the programme (e.g., severe untreated depressive episodes, limiting neurological disorders). * Failure to meet the inclusion criteria, specifically not having been with the company for at least five years or not participating in intergenerational teams. * Refusal to sign the informed consent form or lack of availability to attend programme sessions regularly.
