Abstract

Palmore's measure of level of information on aging was examined using data gathered from a stratified, random sample of 202 adults residing in a mid-size Southern city. The results suggest that scores are more a function of a stereotype of older persons than of level of knowledge on aging per se. Although this instrument may have other uses, these data indicate that it is inadequate as a research tool in assessing level of knowledge on aging.
