JESMO LI STARI KOLIKO IMAMO GODINA ILI KOLIKO SE STARIMA OSJEĆAMO?
ARE WE AS OLD AS WE ARE OR AS OLD AS WE FEEL?

Summary/Abstract: This paper reviews the concept and measurement of subjective age. Considerable research has shown that people tend to consider their age as being different from what it actually is. Generally, adults under 20 years of age often perceive themselves as slightly older than their actual age, while adults over 30 years perceive themselves as younger than their actual age. The differences between actual and subjective age become more pronounced with advancing chronological age. The different types of measures that have been used to assess subjective age as well as correlates of age identification are discussed.
