| Abstract: |
Measures of attitudes to ageing typically examine only explicit attitudes, treatingattitude holders as a homogeneous group with regards to education levels. Implicitattitudes (i.e. the immediate attitudinal response before conscious processes amendthat attitude to an explicit attitude) have been less commonly examined. The currentstudy examined both explicit and implicit attitudes towards ageing in four groups:nurses with high exposure to older patients; nurses with exposure to a broader patientage range; nursing students at the start of training and nursing students at the end oftraining. There were no significant differences in explicit attitudes, but implicitattitudes were significantly less negative in the student groups relative to thepracticing nurses groups. The argument that training and experience have little effecton attitudes is discussed. |
