本稿は、若者が抱く高齢者像とその生成に至る背景ついて議論する。日本と韓国の大学生にアンケート調査を行い、SD法を用いて高齢者像を取得し、同時に高齢者との同居経験や高齢者への世話経験についても併せて確認した。同居経験・世話経験を2要因とする分散分析をSD法の各質問項目に適用した結果、交互作用が認められた質問項目がいくつかあった。また、日本では同居経験がある場合にさらに世話経験を行うことによって、質問項目の評価が肯定的に変化する傾向がみられたが、韓国ではあまり変化がみられなかった。

In this paper, we discuss about young people's perceptions regarding lderly people and the background of generating processes of their perceptions. A questionnaire survey was conducted on university students in South Korea and Japan, and their impressions regarding elderly people were acquired using the semantic differential (SD) method. In the questionnaire, a living together experience with an elderly person and a caring experience for an elderly person were also confirmed. As a result of applying the two-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) with the factors “living together“ and “caring” experiences to each term used in the SD method, significant differences in interaction were observed in several terms. In addition, in the case of Japan, it was found that many terms in the SD method changed to positive evaluations by adding the “caring” experience to the “living together” experience, whereas there was not much change in South Korea.
