Intergenerational Personal/Social Skills Development Study
Rosebrook, Vicki
Childhood Education, v83 n3 p162-P Spr 2007
Intergenerational programs unite people of different ages and provide opportunities for individuals, families, and communities to enjoy and benefit from the richness of a culturally and generationally diverse society that encompasses the needs and interests of the individuals involved. Reflecting on the numbers of young children and senior adults who are now, or those who could potentially be, involved in intergenerational programs and the lack of empirical research, there appears to be a need for further investigation into program benefits. This article describes the project, goals, and outcomes of a research project, submitted by the author, which was selected as a winner of the 2006 Elizabeth Breathwaite Mini-Grant. The purpose of this study was to research the personal/social developmental skills of preschool children involved in intergenerational programs and determine if the intergenerational phenomenon influence the personal/social development of 3- and 4-year-old children in preschool settings.
