Abstract

The study reported in this paper attempted to determine what secondary school students in Nigeria know about the elderly. One hundred twenty students completed a questionnaire about aging. The mean age of the respondents was 15 years. The questionnaire was a modification of Palmore's (1977) Palmore, E. B. 1977. The Facts on Aging: A short quiz. The Gerontologist, 17(4): 315–320. [Crossref], [PubMed], [Web of Science ®] , [Google Scholar] Facts on Aging Quiz. The results revealed that the youths possess aging stereotypes. The implications of the findings are discussed and further areas of research suggested.
