This study assesses the impact of life histories on nursing home staff attitudes. Nurse's aides at two institutions answered questions about their experience and knowledge of aging, and rated nursing home residents on a semantic differential (attitude) scale. Aides received one of two versions of an anonymous resident's medical chart, identical except for the inclusion of a one-page life history. Controlling for individual differences such as prior work experience and knowledge about aging, staff reviewing the chart with the life history rated that resident as more instrumental, autonomous, and personally acceptable than staff who reviewed the chart without the life history.
本研究评估生活经历对养老院工作人员态度的影响。两家机构的护士助理回答了关于他们对衰老的经验和知识的问题，并在语义差异（态度）量表上对养老院居民进行评分。助理收到两份匿名居民病历中的一份，除了包含一页生活经历外，两份病历完全相同。在控制了诸如先前工作经验和对衰老的了解等个体差异后，查看有生活经历病历的工作人员对该居民的评价是，其比查看无生活经历病历的工作人员更具工具性、自主性且更易被个人接受。
