Abstract

The present research is aimed at validation of the Korean version of Fraboni scale of ageism which was developed by Fraboni, Saltstone and Hughes(1990). To do so exploratory factor analysis with sample A and confirmatory factor analysis with sample B was conducted. As a result of exploratory factor analysis and confirmatory factor analysis, it appeared that three factor structure consisting of Affective avoidance,Discrimination, and Stereotype. This result supported the theoretical model of ageism which emphasize multi-factor nature of affective component, cognitive component, and behavior component. Total items and subscales of the Korean version FSA has proper internal consistency and test-retest reliability. It was proved that the new three factor structure has better fit index than other structures. And it was positively correlated with attitude toward the elderly and negative ageist behaviour, negatively correlated with knowledge of aging,frequency and quality of contact with the elderly, and positive ageist behaviour, and not correlated with social desirable responses. These results suggest that Korean version of the FSA is reliable and valid instrument to measure ageism.
