| Annotation | Two types of age discrimination (youth and elder) are considered, also related scores for 108 psychology students and 81 nursing students. The current study found that although the nursing students had a significantly larger number of courses related to ageing, both psychology and nursing students reported low levels of age discrimination. Overall, attitudes of both the nursing and psychology students toward both young and older populations were positive. Nursing students held higher levels of efficacy with regard to working with the older population as compared to psychology students. (RH). |
