摘要
The authors surveyed professional counselors (N = 956) to examine self-efficacy in counseling older adults, contact with older adults, and ageism as related to their interest in working with older adults. Higher self-efficacy, contact, and positive ageism predicted increased interest. These results and implications for counseling older adults are discussed.
