Abstract
With the increased population growth of adults 65 and older, the present study set out to examine if there were attitudinal differences between African American and white future counselors, toward older adults. Respondents consisted of 37 graduate students enrolled in a counseling program who volunteered to complete the Aging Opinion Survey (AOS). The AOS was distributed to students in the classroom by the instructor. Overall, the findings indicated that there was no significant relationship in attitudes toward older adults and subjects' ethnic group.
