Aging society challenges with questions of not only how but mostly who will take care of an increasing number of elderly people.

The study compared variables including social support from family, friends and professionals and self-esteem. The investigation showed no statistically significant differences between groups.

21st century is the age of ageism as elderly people tend to suffer from isolation and discrimination. The study was exploratory and conducted to verify the relationships between moral foundations, moral distancing (mechanism of one’s engagement in unethical behavior) and attitudes towards the elderly. It involved 302 subjects (208 women) from Poland, aged 12-58 (M=25,51; SD=9,35). The research revealed that moral distancing correlates negatively with foundations linked with caring and fairness, as well as with overall positive attitude towards older people. Only sanctity foundation correlates positively with contact frequency, probably as a result of religious/ethical orders. In the future, it is proposed to carry out a similar research, using implicit attitudes tests, as obtained results were as burdened with disturbance variable in the form of social approval.
