A quantitative, descriptive approach was used, and the population is of older adult residents in the city of Rio Paranaíba, Minas Gerais, Brazil, with a total of 252 participants. Data were collected using the snowball technique, and the statistical technique of Factor Analysis was used for the data analysis. As a result, it was obtained a scale with 19 items, grouped into seven factors (personal relationships, autonomy and independence, intergenerationality, resilience, resignation, receptivity and expenses) covering five dimensions (cognitive, biological, psychological, social and economic). It can be concluded that the scale has indicative variables in several studies on aging and old age, making it an appropriate instrument in the area of applied social sciences for measuring the attitude of the older adults. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: research tables/charts Journal Article ougenre: Article language: English refInfo: holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
