Changes in Attitudes among Children and Elderly Adults in Intergenerational Group Work.
Pinquart, Martin; Wenzel, Silka; Sorensen, Silvia
Educational Gerontology, v26 n6 p523-40 Sep 2000
Older adults (n=20) and 8-11 year-olds (n=32) participated in either experimental groups (joint activities) or control groups (children and adults working alone or with age peers). Adults' ratings of children were more positive only in experimental groups. Children's attitudes were positive in both groups and remained so weeks later. (SK)
