| Annotation | Using an instrument derived from the Smith and Baltes description of wisdom, undergraduate respondents evaluated the wisdom which they perceived to be contained in videotaped responses to life-planning tasks (work-family dilemmas). A significant interaction between the age and gender of the videotape respondents and an interpretation of its effect on the perception of wisdom is discussed. A positive relation is revealed between the lay person's definition of wisdom and that which was derived from Smith and Baltes. |
