- Summary:
-
There is a dearth of information about the emotional characteristics of mature women who are returning to colleges in increasing numbers. Characteristics of older women were compared to younger women in teacher preparation courses at a major state university. The older women's attitudes were less positive toward peers, parents and their own social attractiveness but were more positive toward work and education. On personality measures, the older women were less anxious, depressed and hostile than the younger women. Within the older group, attitude toward work was positively correlated with age, while anxiety, depression and hostility were negatively correlated. The older women were more effective academically and had achieved more emotional equanimity and competency than their younger counterparts. (Author)
