Intergenerational Contact in Young Adults in Relation to Aging Anxiety, Attitudes, and Future Time Perspective

ABSTRACT Among older adults, aging anxiety and ageist attitudes negatively relate to one’s future time perspective. It is unclear when this pattern emerges in the lifespan. Previous research has shown that high-quality intergenerational contact is associated with reduced aging anxiety and ageist attitudes. The goal of the current study was to examine a theoretically derived model of the interrelationships between intergenerational contact, aging anxiety, ageist attitudes, and future time perspective among young adults. Results replicated the relationship between intergenerational contact, aging anxiety, and ageist attitudes with resulting implications for future time perspective.
