Summary/Abstract: The aim of this article is to demonstrate how class I to III students see older people. To answer this question, a survey was conducted using the questionnaire survey as a research tool.The study was conducted in Czerwionka-Leszczyny and Książenice, towns located in the town and commune of Czerwionka-Leszczyny, in Rybnik district of Silesian Voivodship. The main criteria for the division of the research group were the gender and place of residence of young respondents. The chosen period of human development is not accidental, as it is at that time that the transition from superficiality to operational thinking takes place, which contributes to the deeper and more objective description of other people by children.As the research has proved, these descriptions are far from stereotyping.
