Abstract

This study conducted a survey to investigate the effect of the elderly-related experience on ageism in college students in Busan and Ulsan area. The total score of ageism was lower in the students with the experience in living with the elderly (p<.001), taking elderly-related classes (p<.01), and volunteering for the elderly. The effect of the experience in the elderly on the emotional avoidance was significant in the students with the experience in living with the elderly (p<0.001), volunteering for the elderly(p<0.01), and taking elderly-related classes (p<0.05). The effect on ageism was significant in the students with the experience in living with the elderly (p<0.001), volunteering for the elderly (p<0.01), and taking elderly-related classes (p<0.05). Therefore, taking elderly-related classes and volunteering for elderly to build social, physical, and emotional empathy will have a positive effect on the attitudes and the point of view on the elderly.

본 연구는 부산광역시와 울산광역시 일부 지역 내 대학생을 대상으로 노인 관련 경험이 노인 차별주의에 미치는 영향을 파악하고자 설문 조사를 하였다. 노인 동거 경험(p<.001), 노인 관련 강의 수강 경험(p<.01), 노인 대상 봉사활동 경험(p<.001)이 있는 학생들의 노인 차별주의 전체 점수가 경험이 없는 학생들보다 낮게 나타났다. 노인 관련 경험이 정서적 회피에 미치는 영향은 노인 동거 경험(p<0.001), 노인 대상 봉사활동 경험(p<0.01)과 노인 관련 강의 수강 경험(p<0.05)에서 유의한 수준으로 나타났다. 노인의 차별에 미치는 영향은 노인 동거 경험(p<0.001), 노인 대상 봉사활동 경험(p<0.01)과 노인 관련 강의 수강경험(p<0.05)에서 유의한 수준으로 나타났다. 따라서 노인 세대 간의 사회적·신체적·정서적 공감을 형성하기 위한 노력으로 대학에서의 노인 관련 강의 수강 및 노인 대상 봉사 경험이 노인에 대한 태도와 의식에 긍정적인 영향을 미칠 것으로 생각된다.
