Although
respecting the elderly people and devotion to them is one of the fundamental
social rules in Turkey, this fact is being affected by the regional and
traditional conducts. Considering the demographic changes, attitude towards the
elderly people turns into an important status.
This
work was planned in order to determine the attitudes of the university students
towards the elderly people was and conducted on the Ankara University
Department of Social Work students. In the research, the attitudes were
measured with the attitude scale developed by Kogan (1961) and t-test was
applied to determine the differences between genders.
The
result of the research revealed that; the elderly people need more compassion
and trust compared to anyone else; even though there are minor exceptions, most
of the elderly people are found to be sympathetic; individuals grow in
experience as they age and that it is hard to make the elderly feel sincere.
Additionally, the results show that female students have more positive
attitudes towards the elderly people than the male students (p<0.05).
