Older adults are as open to attitude change as younger adults. Personal experiences significantly influence attitudes toward government, supporting the lifelong openness model over the impressionable years model.

Area of Science:

  • Social Psychology
  • Developmental Psychology

Background:

  • Models of attitude change across the lifespan are debated.
  • Key models include the impressionable years model and the lifelong openness model.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate age-related differences in openness to attitude change.
  • To examine the impact of personal experiences on attitudes toward government.

Main Methods:

  • Two studies were conducted with participants of varying ages.
  • Personal experiences with government agencies were assessed.
  • Attitudes toward government were measured before and after experiences.

Main Results:

  • Older adults' attitudes toward government changed as much as or more than younger adults' attitudes.
