Status and role of elderly individuals in traditional societies has a meaning in terms of characteristics attributed by social environment. In modern society, it is observed that statuses and roles of elderly individuals become varied due to economic resources, education status, position in working life, individual skills and so on factors of elderly individuals. Contribution that an individual makes to the status he/she has achieved and represented with his/her individual skills or successes in modern societies determines social importance of the occupied status from others point of view. This importance is due to role potential created by elderly individuals, who are biologically accepted older, depending on their statuaries characteristics. Role potential of the individual brings out a social importance and prestige to himself/herself attributed through his/her status occupied. However, social processes and changes cannot be experienced simultaneously in all social categories and even in individuals and groups. This difference has become much more visible in societies experiencing the transition from traditionalism to modernity, such as Turkey. The study is aimed at evaluation of aging fact in terms of social relations experienced in this period.
