Children's Attitudes toward the Elderly
Jantz, Richard K.; And Others
Social Education, 41, 6, 518-23, Oct 77
A study measured children's attitudes toward and knowledge of older people in American society. Findings indicate that children have little general knowledge of the elderly and very complex, mixed attitudes toward older persons. Ways are suggested in which schools can inculcate positive attitudes toward all people, including the elderly. (Author/DB)
