An Exploratory Study of Sources of Stereotypes of Old Age Among Administrators

Keith, Patricia M.

Journal of Gerontology, 32, 4, 463-468, Jul 77

This exploratory study examines relative effects of individual, client, and organizational characteristics on stereotypes of the aged held by nursing home administrators. Data from 45 administrators suggest client characteristics may be more important than personal or organizational dimensions in explaining variation in perceptions of the aged. (Author)
