Abstract

Relationships among information on aging, fear of aging, and involvement with older persons were examined in public rehabilitation facilities in Alabama. The variables were measured respectively by the Facts on Aging Quiz, a four-item fear index, and hours of involvement with persons age 60 and above. Demographic variables of age, sex, race, and educational status were also examined among the subjects. Pearson product-moment correlations and t-tests were used to test for significance of the relationships at the p < .01 level. Information and race were significantly related with more information indicated for white subjects, and age and involvement were significantly related with more hours reported for older subjects.
