With the intensification of population aging, the health of
the elderly has gradually become a very important social issue. Attitudes
towards aging, as an important social and psychological factor, have a
significant impact on the physiological and psychological states of the elderly
and therefore have increasingly attracted academic attention. The definition of
concepts, clarification of theoretical foundations, and development of
evaluation tools are the foundations of research on attitudes toward aging. The
research on the above three aspects in foreign countries started earlier and
explored more deeply. There are various definitions, theoretical models, and
evaluation tools proposed, which have subtle differences and close connections
and can easily cause difficulties in understanding and tool selection.
Meanwhile, the research on attitudes toward aging in China has just begun,
mainly relying on referencing and revising foreign tools. There is not much
research and development on localized tools, and a few have not been well
promoted. In order to better promote the research and intervention of attitudes
towards aging, this article intends to provide a brief analysis of the
definitions and theoretical models of attitudes towards aging at home and
abroad. Based on this, it will focus on introducing the main evaluation tools,
and propose relevant research prospects.
