The purpose of this research was to exam me undergraduate students' attitudes toward the elderly. The survey was conducted in May, 2003. The respondents were 118 undergraduate students residing in Daegu. The attitudes toward the elderly were investigated by the Semantic Differential Scaling developed by Sanders and his colleagues. The data were analyzed by statistical methods such as multiple regression. The results of this study were as follows. 1. The mean score of the attitudes toward the elderly was 3.88, indicating that the attitudes were in a neutral range. 2. According to the results of multiple regression, the variables accounted for 14.2% of the variance for the attitudes toward the elderly. Gender(β=.232), frequency of contact with grandparents(β=.233), and grandparent's health status(β=-.223) were identified as significant predictors. Implications of the findings were discussed and the recommendations for the future directions for gerontological education and research were presented.
