Sketches of younger, middle-aged, and older black and white male and female adults were used with an index of descriptive items to elicit children's perceptions of older adults in the communities of Bocas del Toro and Almirante, Panama. The results of the interviews and ethnographic fieldwork suggest that the black children viewed older adults who are female or white more positively across four identified subdimensions of the index of children's perceptions. There were no differences in children's perceptions by the age category of the older adults represented. The relationship of the findings to socio-economic change within the communities and households was discussed.
使用了年轻、中年和老年黑白男性及女性成年人的素描，并结合描述性项目指标，以了解巴拿马博卡斯德尔托罗和阿尔米兰特社区儿童对老年人的看法。访谈和人种志实地调查结果表明，在儿童认知指标所确定的四个子维度中，黑人儿童对老年女性或白人老年人的看法更为积极。在所呈现的老年人年龄类别方面，儿童的认知没有差异。还讨论了研究结果与社区和家庭内部社会经济变化的关系。
