| Research Abstract |
Implementation of the Intergenerational program with preschool children at the adult day care center resulted in significant differences in scores for‘Tension-Anxiety’ and ‘Vigor’. The present findings also suggest that the program decreases psychological distance from children. The interactive interaction programs allowed older adults to play more roles than the child-led interaction programs. Further development ofsuch beneficial programs is warranted.
