The instrument evaluates specific attitudes held by college students. These attitudes are then compared to the level of interaction that students have had with older adults and the quality of that interaction. An initial investigation revealed that the level of interaction with older adults was positively correlated to a more positive attitude. This study aims to further investigate variables affecting this correlation, specifically quality of interaction versus quantity of interaction.Student workspostersengCopyright and other restrictions may apply.
