ABSTRACT The Intergenerational Theater (IGT) Production project was implemented to provide an opportunity to promote the interactions between the generations. The purpose of this study was to conduct a formal evaluation of the effect participation in an IGT production had on child and youth participants’ attitudes toward aging and the effect participation had on the older adults’ level of satisfaction. The youth group had significant positive changes in attitudes toward older adults from baseline to follow-up, with little change for the child group. Older adults noted that the experience had a positive effect on meaningfulness, purpose and accomplishments. These results support the benefits of participation in IGT productions.

ABSTRACT Using a questionnaire survey, this study examined Latinx mothers’ (n = 72) perception of Latinx grandparents’ involvement in children’s physical activity. Data were collected about a specific child (i.e., focal child) and a specific grandparent who spent the most time with the focal child (i.e., focal grandparent). Results showed that mothers perceived a substantive level of grandparental support for child’s physical activity and a small-to-moderate level of disagreement with grandparent in child’s physical activity. Mother-grandparent disagreement negatively affected grandparent’s support, which in turn positively affected child’s physical activity. Socio-demographic and household-related correlates of mother-grandparent disagreement and grandparent’s support were also examined.

ABSTRACT Promoting intergenerational knowledge transfer (IKT) among scientists is an essential aspect of universities’ operations because it is a condition for the continuity of cultural values and scientific development. This article is guided by questions about a conceptual model that could support higher educational institutions in the purposeful programming of IKT. The supporting role of geographic and virtual mobility is emphasized as a possible instrument that assists IKT, both nationally and internationally.

ABSTRACT Intergenerational Health Review (IHR) postulates that reminiscence of personal history is a reconciling process beneficial to individuals since it helps to find meaning in life and gain a better sense of well-being. This paper presents a college course project, within which students documented reminiscence stories in older adults’ lives based on an event of recovery from illness. Evaluation of findings indicated that the pilot IHR project benefited students and older participants. Future studies should investigate how a college project like IHR can work on promoting the goal of intrinsic motivation rather than just focusing on grades.
代际健康回顾(Intergenerational Health Review, IHR)认为，个人历史的回忆是一个有利于个体的调和过程，因为它有助于个体找到生活的意义并获得更好的幸福感。这篇论文提出了一个大学课程项目，在这个项目中，学生们根据一个从疾病中恢复的事件记录了老年人生活中的回忆故事。对结果的评估表明，《国际卫生条例》试点项目使学生和老年参与者受益。未来的研究应该调查像IHR这样的大学项目如何促进内在动机的目标，而不仅仅是关注成绩。

ABSTRACT The purpose of this study is to analyze the position of middle-aged women who are part of multigenerational households. Drawing on 20 in-depth interviews with these women, we investigate how middle-generation women understand their roles in the family and intergenerational relations, how they position themselves in relation to older and younger generations, and how they interpret the responsibilities and expectations and their fulfillment in the context of multigenerational living. What are the pressures, tensions, and advantages of being in the middle? We demonstrate several levels of being “in between” while analyzing the care demands, responsibilities, and expectations that these women experience in daily life. The article investigates three kinds of activities that women perform in multigenerational living: care for people, care for intergenerational family relationships, and care for homes. We conclude that middle-generation women struggle between the drive for independence and the appreciation of interdependency among the generations that is both a burden and a relief.

ABSTRACT Initial needs assessment can be useful for obtaining information about the issues that should be addressed in newly launched intergenerational centers. However, there are few examples of how such studies should be conducted. This paper shares insights and lessons learned during a needs assessment study conducted nine months after the inauguration of an intergenerational shared site in Spain. In addition to presenting the needs identified, such as accurate and complete job descriptions, the paper offers methodological recommendations to practitioners embarking upon a similar needs study. The value of needs assessment as an educational endeavor is also highlighted.

ABSTRACT A diverse intergenerational (IG) program, the Get WISE program, was implemented at a long-term care facility with a nearby childcare center and a local university. Pre-post measures from the children regarding perceptions of older adults, and from the long-term care residents regarding their self-rated health, depressive symptoms, and perceptions of resident-youth interactions were collected. Significant improvements were observed in perceptions of resident-youth interactions. Children’s responses expanded from stereotypes of physical aging to positive temperaments and activities of older adults. IG programs can improve the quality of relationships between participants and have cognitive, health, and quality of life benefits.

ABSTRACT Ageism is a term used to describe negative stereotypes and prejudices often leading to the discrimination of older adults. Ageism has been linked to negative outcomes such as a decreased quality of life, discrimination in the workplace, and poorer mental and physical health for older adults. Promoting positive contact experiences between older and younger generations in combination with education about aging has shown to improve attitudes among younger adults toward aging. Using the Positive Education about Aging and Contact Experiences (PEACE) model, this study examined the attitudes toward aging among 23 undergraduate students prior to and upon completion of an intergenerational service learning project, embedded within an aging course. The Fraboni Scale of Ageism (FSA) was used to measure levels of ageism before and after the intergenerational service learning project. The overall mean among the entire sample for the pre-FSA scores (68.86 ± 1.47) was significantly greater than the mean scores on the post-FSA scores (63.13 ± 1.48), t = 5.584, p < .001, demonstrating a significant decrease in ageism scores upon completion of the intergenerational service learning project. Findings validate the utility of intergenerational service learning programs and offers advice on the implementation of evidence-based strategies aimed at reducing ageism among the population.

ABSTRACT A prospective longitudinal mixed-method study was undertaken to evaluate an intergenerational community program involving older adults and school aged-children. Data were collected from nine children, and 18 non-frail, frail, and cognitively impaired older adults. Quantitative data collected from intergenerational interactions and self-ratings (0–10) assessed program satisfaction, while qualitative data included 89 session observations, and then both were integrated. Findings suggested that non-frail older adults interacted more verbally with children while the frail and cognitively impaired adults had mainly passive non-verbal interactions. The results indicated that promoting linguistic, emotional, and positive experiences for both generations led to their meaningful and satisfying relationships.

ABSTRACT This study aims to explore the impact of the bilateral intergenerational program, which is the Sedae IEum Madang Project, on intergenerational solidarity, perception changes toward the other generations, and sense of community in Korea. A one-group pre/posttest design was used and a purposive sampling method was adopted for recruiting participants. The final sample size was 53 (30 older adults and 23 younger adults). Following participation in the bilateral intergenerational program, the positive perception of younger participants toward the older adults increased and their sense of community was also improved. The implications of the study and future research directions were suggested.
