Service Providers' Attitudes toward Aging, the Aged and Senescence

Journal of Applied Social Sciences

Author: Singleton, C. A.
Year: 1998
Type: Journal Article

Abstract:

Argues that attitudes of human service providers toward the elderly (in terms of aging & senescence) may condition professional practice & relationships with this expanding client population. Scale data from 281 social workers reveal moderately positive attitudes toward aging & the aged. Related assessments of provider knowledge about aging showed marginal factually based understandings. Associations between attitudes & knowledge were minimal. Results commend additional inquiry on practice-related attitudinal influences & suggest the need for professional development opportunities.
