AB - The purpose of this study is to investigate public servants' knowledge and attitudes toward the elderly, and to identify the variables that influence their attitudes. A survey was conducted from February 2011 using a structured self-report questionnaire, and 178 responses were used for the analysis. Data were analyzed by descriptive statistics, t-test, ANOVA, and multiple regression analysis. The research findings can be summarized as follows: First, while the mean score on attitudes toward the elderly is similar to previous studies, the mean score of knowledge about the elderly, at approximately 13.9, is higher than previous studies Second, the significant predictors to explain attitudes toward the elderly were knowledge about the elderly, gender, and age, with knowledge about the elderly proving most significant. The practical recommendations of the study include the development of education programs about the elderly, and efforts to change public servants' cognition and attitudes toward the elderly.
