Abstract
The findings of this study provide valuable information to gerontology professionals interested in fostering caring connections between the young and the old. Contact with elderly in a variety of roles and settings as well as exposure to media presenting nonstereotypic information about older adults and the aging process were found to enhance young children's prosocial behaviors toward the elderly. Pretest and posttest analyses indicated that 3‐ and 4‐year‐olds who participated in a nine‐month intergenerational program were more willing to share, help, and cooperate with elderly persons than those without the experience.
