Thesis (M.Ed.)--The University of Texas at San Antonio, 2007.

This study was developed to investigate and compare the knowledge and attitudes Hispanic and White college students have toward the elderly and the aging process. In addition, the students' gender, age and level of acculturation were examined to better understand how such factors correlated with knowledge and attitudes toward the aged. The sample consisted of 180 students who completed an on-line survey. The three instruments used for this study included questions from the 2006 Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System questionnaire (BRFSS), the Facts on Aging Quiz 1 (FAQ1), and the Bidimensional Acculturation Scale (BAS). A cross-sectional study was utilized and Chi-square, t-test and ANOVA were run in order to analyze data and examine the impact of multiple variables on the scores of the FAQ1. Hispanic students scored a mean percentage of 50.1% items correct on the FAQ1, while White students scored a mean percentage of 53.2% items correct. There were no significant differences in mean knowledge and attitude scores among different groups of students; however, there were significant differences on specific FAQ1 items. The results of this study indicate both Hispanic and White students possess inaccurate knowledge and negative attitudes toward the elderly and the aging process. Recommendations for education about aging and further research were made.
