| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
While previous studies have focused on attitudes toward older people such as ageism, this study focused on attitudes of older people toward younger generation and their associations with support giving for the young. We analyzed data of 813 persons aged 60-69 who were randomly selected in Tokyo Metropolitan area and responded to a mail survey (response rate: 54%). After developing scales such as "negative attitudes to the young" and "the community childrearing support scale," relationships between various attitudes and the supportive behaviors were examined. Among the attitudes, "generativity" or concern for the next generation showed the strongest positive effect on supportive behaviors, while "antipathy and avoidance (to the young)" showed a negative effect. Moreover, those who had experienced more support from seniors in their youth were more likely to have higher generativity and lower antipathy and avoidance, which promoted support for the young when they became 60's.
