Education to Promote Positive Attitudes about Aging
Klein, Diane; Council, Kathy; Mcguire, Sandra
Educational Gerontology, v31 n8 p591-601 Sep 2005
This longitudinal study examined what a one-time intervention about aging does to the attitudes of high-school students toward aging. Early findings from the study support previous research that indicates ageist attitudes formed in early childhood become difficult to change as children reach adolescence. This research further supports the need for aging education to begin in early childhood.
