Os instrumentos utilizados foram a) Diferencial semântico - 30 itens bipolares - domínios agência, cognição, relações sociais e persona; e b) Escala de conhecimentos - 25 itens - físicos, psicológicos e sociológicos. São apresentados os seguintes resultados: a) atitudes positivas, principalmente nos mais jovens, mulheres e que convivem com idosos; b) Baixo nível de acertos em conhecimentos (M=41,0%, DP=10,3%); c) Os que estudaram sobre velhice (cursos de Enfermagem, Educação Física e Medicina) sabem mais do que os que não estudaram (Educação); d) Atitudes e conhecimentos positiva e significantemente correlacionados. Portanto, educar e atender adequadamente os idosos dependem da oferta de estruturas de conhecimento e de oportunidades para desenvolver habilidades e valores específicos.Núcleo de Editoração - PUC-Campinas2006-06-30info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionArtigosapplication/pdfhttps://periodicos.puc-campinas.edu.br/estpsi/article/view/6784Psychological Studies; Vol. 23 No. 2 (2006): Estudos de Psicologia (Campinas)Estudos de Psicologia; Vol. 23 Núm. 2 (2006): Estudos de Psicologia (Campinas)Estudos de Psicologia; v. 23 n. 2 (2006): Estudos de Psicologia (Campinas)1982-0275reponame:Estudos de Psicologia (Campinas)instname:Pontifícia Universidade Católica de Campinas (PUC-CAMPINAS)instacron:PUC_CAMPporhttps://periodicos.puc-campinas.edu.br/estpsi/article/view/6784/4412Copyright (c) 2022 Anita Liberalesso NERI, Mariana Dias JORGEhttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessNERI, Anita Liberalesso JORGE, Mariana Dias 2024-05-08T19:20:18Zoai:ojs.periodicos.puc-campinas.edu.br:article/6784Revistahttps://seer.sis.puc-campinas.edu.br/seer/index.php/estudosPRIhttps://seer.sis.puc-campinas.edu.br/seer/index.php/estudos/oaisbi.ne_estpsi@puc-campinas.edu.br||estudosdepsicologia@puc-campinas.edu.br||psychologicalstudies@puc-campinas.edu.br1982-02750103-166Xopendoar:2024-05-08T19:20:18Estudos de Psicologia (Campinas) - Pontifícia Universidade Católica de Campinas (PUC-CAMPINAS)false
