摘要
One of the most widely used instruments for the assessment of attitudes toward the elderly is the Aging Semantic Differential, first developed by Rosencrantz and McNevin in 1969. Although widely used, problems concerning the instrument have been found. This article reviews the research using the Aging Semantic Differential and the validity of the instrument itself Directions for refinement are presented and discussed.
