摘要
Using an instrument constructed by Sanders, Montgomery, Pittman, and Balkwell (1984), this study found that the attitudes of a sample of 201 Caribbean university students toward older adults were in the neutral range. Analyses of the data revealed that students who had close relationships with older adults had more positive attitudes. In addition, social work majors had more positive attitudes when compared to sociology, psychology, and English majors. Those who had lived or worked with older adults did not have more positive attitudes. There were no differences in the attitudes of students of African, East Indian, or mixed ancestries. The finds of this study are discussed in relation to similar studies done in the United States.
