This research empirically examines the hypothesis that the aged person's attitudes toward doctors have behavioral consequences in terms of whether or not a doctor's help in sought. A multivariate analysis of data collected from 122 older respondents indicates that attitudes related to technical aspects of medicine or physician performance are insignificant in terms of help-seeking, but a perception of physicians as personally interested in the welfare of patients is a significant predictor of both the inclination and actual behavior of seeking medical help. Implications of these data are discussed.
老年人对医生的态度在是否寻求医生帮助方面具有行为后果。对122名老年受访者收集的数据进行的多变量分析表明，与医学技术方面或医生表现相关的态度在寻求帮助方面并不重要，但认为医生个人关心患者福利是寻求医疗帮助的倾向和实际行为的重要预测因素。文中讨论了这些数据的含义。
