Abstract
Research since 1971 was evaluated in which subjective age, operationalized as self-perceived age, was the dependent variable. Five types of measures have been used to assess subjective age: identity age, comparative age, feel/age, cognitive age, and stereotype age. Bivariate and multivariate studies revealed four categories of correlates of self-perceived age: biological and physiological, demographic, psychographic and social psychological, and behavioral.Keywords
