The purpose of the present study was to investigate the attitudes of kindergarten children toward personalized and nonpersonalized elderly. The Children's Attitudes Toward the Elderly, CATE (Jantz, Seefeldt, Galper, & Serock, 1976) was revised by the experimenter for the present study and was administered individually to 41 male and 41 female kindergarten children (age range = 64 to 77 months). Parental attitudes toward aging were assessed by a 10-item semantic differential checklist taken from the revised CATE. Pearson Product Moment correlations, chi-square analyses, and two-tailed matched-pair t-tests were performed on the data. The results of this study indicated that (1) children's sex was significantly related to their attitudes toward the elderly; (2) children demonstrated a significant preference for basing their pictorial recognition of age on physical-descriptive cues; and (3) a highly significant correlation between children's attitudes toward personalized and nonpersonalized elderly suggests the existence of a common attitude response system in young children with respect to attitudes toward the elderly. Results were discussed and limitations of the study and implications for future research were considered;References;Jantz, R. K., Seefeldt, C., Galper, A., & Serock, K.
