Although aging and old age are the subject of increasing research, the attitude towards one’s own aging seems to be insufficiently researched. This prompted us to examine whether the way we experience our own aging, as well as our attitudes towards older people, from adolescence and over a long period of adulthood, but also what is the role of gender and socioeconomic status (earnings and education). The survey was conducted in the Republic of Serbia and included 1,236 respondents (793 women and 443 men). A PORPOS3 battery was used, a purpose-built instrument with 343 questions, which also contains a short scale, Attitude towards one’s own aging with three dimensions: Concern about one’s own aging, Acceptance of aging and Attitude towards the elderly. The results shows that the respondents older than 61 years, in relation to the respondents from 31 to 40 years, but also that the respondents who earn up to 20,000.00 dinars, in relation to those who earn between 71,000.00 and 90,000.00 dinars, have a more negative attitude towards the elderly. In a sample of respondents between the ages of 41 and 50, a positive low-intensity correlation was obtained between concerns about one’s own aging and level of education.
