This study considered two types of age discrimination (youth and elder) and related scale scores for 108 psychology students and 81 nursing students. The current study found that although the nursing students had a significantly larger number of courses related to aging, both nursing and psychology students reported low levels of age discrimination. Overall, attitudes of both the nursing and psychology students toward both young and elder populations were positive. Nursing students held higher levels of efficacy with regards to working with the elder population in comparison to psychology students.
本研究针对108名心理学专业学生和81名护理专业学生，考量了两种年龄歧视类型（针对年轻人和老年人）及相关量表得分。当前研究发现，尽管护理专业学生与衰老相关的课程数量显著更多，但护理专业和心理学专业学生报告的年龄歧视水平均较低。总体而言，护理专业和心理学专业学生对年轻人和老年人的态度都是积极的。与心理学专业学生相比，护理专业学生在与老年人群体合作方面具有更高的效能感。
