The finite from the perspective of elderly males: a study of social representations

Abstract

This article aims to verify the Social Representations among elderly males over death. A search was performed with 21 elderly males, 61 to 90 years. They responded to a semi-structured interview with questions about their daily lives, context of life and death. The results point to a shared idea of a suffering death. These results may support activities that benefit the elderly male.
