'n Verband is tussen adolessente se houdings teenoor spesifieke bejaardes en adolessente se houdings teenoor bejaardes in die algemeen gevind. / In this study adolescents' attitudes towards the elderly were investigated. The social nature of attitudes were highlighted and then linked to social distance. Aspects of subcultures, Cowgill's formulation of the modernisation theory, the age stratification model and Dowd's exchange theory were used as a theoretical base. The aim of the study is to establish whether there is a relationship between adolescents' attitudes towards specific elderly persons and adolescents' attitudes towards the elderly in general. The relationship between attitudes towards the elderly and the following were also examined, adolescents': gender, home language, amount of contact with elderly persons and evaluation of conversations with elderly persons.
The study was conducted by way of a questionnaire administered to standard seven pupils in several
schools in the Vanderbijlpark-Vereeniging area.
A relationship was discovered between adolescents' attitudes towards specific elderly and
adolescents' attitudes towards the elderly in general. / Sociology / M.A. (Sosiologie)
