The Measure of the Trust Beliefs of Elderly Individuals.
Rotenberg, Ken J.
International Journal of Aging and Human Development, v30 n2 p141-52 1990
Examined trust beliefs of older adults (N=140) using a modified Rotter's trust scale. Identified a complex relationship between trust and income. Found a curvilinear shift with age in dependability of social-legal organizations attributed to postretirement experiences in middle-old age and a form of generativity in very old age. (Author/ABL)
