In the research, the attitudes weremeasured with the attitude scale developed by Kogan (1961) and t-test wasapplied to determine the differences between genders. Theresult of the research revealed that; the elderly people need more compassionand trust compared to anyone else; even though there are minor exceptions, mostof the elderly people are found to be sympathetic; individuals grow inexperience as they age and that it is hard to make the elderly feel sincere.Additionally, the results show that female students have more positiveattitudes towards the elderly people than the male students (p<0.05).
