A questionnaire was administered to 173 male and female undergraduates to contrast their perceptions of the transition periods of young, middle age, and old adulthood stages of aging. A comparison of the perceived stages was then made with the personality dimensions of achievement and aggression. A 2 X 2 X 3 analysis of variance was computed for sex of S, sex of the perceived individual, and three adult stages. In addition, coefficients of correlation were obtained for 24 variables. The analysis of variance resulted in finding several significant main effects and interactions. Male judged the transition of age periods earlier than females for young and middle age adults, and females were perceived as entering the stage of old age at an earlier date than males. A directionality of establishing earlier transition ages by high scorers on the achievement dimension was also noted.
对173名男女大学生进行了问卷调查，以对比他们对青年、中年和老年成年期衰老过渡阶段的认知。然后将感知到的阶段与成就和攻击性的人格维度进行比较。对被试的性别、被感知个体的性别以及三个成年阶段进行了2×2×3方差分析。此外，还获得了24个变量的相关系数。方差分析结果发现了几个显著的主效应和交互作用。男性认为青年和中年成年人的年龄过渡比女性早，而女性被认为比男性更早进入老年阶段。还注意到在成就维度上得分高的人确定更早过渡年龄的方向性。
