The Aging and Old Age Process: Construction and Validation of an Attitude Scale
The aim of this article is to present the construction and validation of an attitude scale for the older adults towards aging and old age. A quantitative, descriptive approach was used, and the population is of older adult residents in the city of Rio Paranaíba, Minas Gerais, Brazil, with a total of 252 participants. Data were collected using the snowball technique, and the statistical technique of Factor Analysis was used for the data analysis. As a result, it was obtained a scale with 19 items, grouped into seven factors (personal relationships, autonomy and independence, intergenerationality, resilience, resignation, receptivity and expenses) covering five dimensions (cognitive, biological, psychological, social and economic). It can be concluded that the scale has indicative variables in several studies on aging and old age, making it an appropriate instrument in the area of applied social sciences for measuring the attitude of the older adults.
期刊介绍:
As a quarterly peer-reviewed journal that has existed for over three decades, Ageing International serves all professionals who deal with complex ageing issues. The journal is dedicated to improving the life of ageing populations worldwide through providing an intellectual forum for communicating common concerns, exchanging analyses and discoveries in scientific research, crystallizing significant issues, and offering recommendations in ageing-related service delivery and policy making. Besides encouraging the submission of high-quality research and review papers, Ageing International seeks to bring together researchers, policy analysts, and service program administrators who are committed to reducing the ''implementation gap'' between good science and effective service, between evidence-based protocol and culturally suitable programs, and between unique innovative solutions and generalizable policies. For significant issues that are common across countries, Ageing International will organize special forums for scholars and investigators from different disciplines to present their regional perspectives as well as to provide more comprehensive analysis. The editors strongly believe that such discourse has the potential to foster a wide range of coordinated efforts that will lead to improvements in the quality of life of older persons worldwide.
