Book excerpt: Master's Thesis from the year 2006 in the subject Sociology - Old Age, grade: Distinction, , course: Master of Social Science in Counselling, language: English, abstract: The main purpose of this study was to examine the general public’s perception on older people. Based on this theme, five research questions were identified. 1) What are the attitudes of younger and older people toward elderly?, 2) Are older peoples’ attitudes toward themselves being influenced by prevailing ageism views?, 3) What are the predictors of ageism?, 4) Do the interaction between younger and older people influences the attitudes toward older people?, and 5) What are the implications of the above research findings toward older people for counselling?. Based on these questions, five hypotheses were developed. No significant difference was found between the attitudes of younger and older people toward the latter. In terms of concept and image about older people, older people tend to see themselves more negative than younger people. People with higher educational levels, younger age and religion tend to score a higher value of FAQ than people with lower educational levels, older age and non-religious. People with higher educational levels, younger age and religion tend to form more positive image toward older people than people with low lower educational levels, older age and non-religious. People with more interaction with older adults tend to have higher scores on FAQ. Basically all the hypotheses were rejected, but this study did make several contributions to the study of ageism in Hong Kong. First, this study found that attitudes of younger students toward older adults were more negative than older people. Students’ attitudes toward older people were dominated by negative ageism views and image; whereas, older peoples’ attitudes toward older adults were mixed with both negative and positive ageism views. It was suggested in this study, attitudes of people toward older adults have to be analyzed from three perspectives, namely ageism, image about older people and attitudes toward caring in order to generate more precise pictures about ageism. Finally, the study suggested that education, intergenerational activities and positive ageing programs could be used to reduce ageism in our societies.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The research area of attitudes toward older adults is becoming increasingly relevant. This is because of the prevalence of ageism and the approaching senescence of the U.S. "baby boom" generation. In this study, the young adult/"most familiar" older adult relationship and its influence on a young adult's attitudes toward older adults in general (i.e., all individuals 65 years and older) is examined. In this study, 171 male and female college students between the ages of 18 and 35 completed a questionnaire assessing the quality of contact and quantity of contact in a young adult's relationship with a "most familiar". The young adult's attitudes toward the "most familiar" and his/her attitudes toward older adults in general, were also assessed using the 32-item Aging Semantic Differential (ASD). A second self-report instrument, the 17-item Miller Social Intimacy Scale, was used to assess the degree of social intimacy experienced in the older adult relationship. Social intimacy is a specific type of intimacy which is described as being similar to friendship. Respondents were also asked to provide information regarding their age, race, gender, and any co-residency experience with older adults. Regression analysis and t-test results ultimately revealed that social intimacy (one aspect of quality of contact) was a significant predictor of a person's attitudes toward a specific familiar older adult. Significance was also found in the associations between social intimacy and attitudes toward the large out-group, older adults in general. Results also indicated that quantity of contact and a young adult's race are significant in predicting attitudes toward older adults in general.

Book excerpt: This study surveyed 65 college students to see how interaction with older adults affects college students' attitudes toward older adults. A population of students who participated in an activity with older adults for class were compared with a control sample. No significant difference in attitudes on aging was found between those that participated in the activity and those who did not. Women were found to have more positive views on aging. More times of interaction with older adults was significantly positively correlated with the overall rating of time spent with older adults. More times of interaction correlates with less ageist idas about older adults.
