Evaluation of Infantilizing Intonation and Content of Speech Directed at the Aged.
Whitbourne, Susan Krauss; And Others
International Journal of Aging & Human Development, v41 n2 p109-16 1995
Infantilization was investigated in a sample of elderly adults, both community residents (n=18) and residents of institutions (n=17). Community residents were more negative in their ratings of infantilizing speech content and intonation, and appeared particularly resentful of infantilizing speech intonation of the dimension of respect.
