Children's perceptions and attitudes about aging and older adults are investigated using a version of Children's Views on Aging (CVoA), a four-part validated instrument designed to assess school-age children's views on older adults and aging. The instrument has been adapted to enable children to make value judgements about their responses to questions on the CVoA. The study reports children's perceptions and attitudes about aging are not as negative as adults conclude. Children are positively affected by interactions with older adults, they describe physical signs of aging without judgement, and respond negatively to some of the unpleasant conditions associated with aging.
使用儿童对衰老的看法（CVoA）的一个版本来调查儿童对衰老和老年人的认知及态度，CVoA是一个经过验证的四部分工具，旨在评估学龄儿童对老年人和衰老的看法。该工具已经过改编，以使儿童能够对他们在CVoA上对问题的回答做出价值判断。研究报告称，儿童对衰老的认知和态度并不像成年人所认为的那样消极。与老年人的互动对儿童有积极影响，他们在描述衰老的身体迹象时没有评判，并对一些与衰老相关的不愉快状况做出负面反应。
