A sentence completion instrument was administered to 28 elderly females and 44 young female social workers to investigate the differences and similarities in attitudes and beliefs about old people and being old. The statistical significance between the groups' responses was tested using the chi-square technique and individual cells by means of critical ratios. Eleven of the 20 stems were significant at the prescribed level and these are substantively discussed. It is suggested that awareness of the discrepant attitudes and beliefs is an important step towards reducing this dissonance.
对28名老年女性和44名年轻女性社会工作者进行了句子完成测试，以调查她们对老年人和变老的态度及信念的异同。使用卡方技术和临界比率对两组回答之间的统计显著性进行了检验。20个句子主干中有11个在规定水平上具有显著性，并对此进行了实质性讨论。研究表明，意识到态度和信念的差异是减少这种不一致的重要一步。
