Cultural attitudes and values profoundly influence the views on different aspects of aging, including dependency and demand of services. Similarly, expectations about behaviors in older people may differ due to cultural factors, leading to the consideration of some pathological behaviors regarded as normal in other cultures. The marks of growing into adulthood are often a source of pride, but, in some cultures and specifically in developed countries, marks of natural aging can lead to awkwardness or shame. When discussing myths and stereotypes, cultural attitudes may cause the elderly to feel embarrassment and may influence the milieu, eventually leading to marginalization. It is both the subjective feeling of the individual and the social environment that are influenced.

Hi, I realized that it seems the concept “outcome” is different from the term “output”. Taking the grandparent training project as an example, what is the “outcome’ referable?

I have designed a large-scale survey about the life satisfaction of low-income families in Hong Kong. Is it appropriate to use the electronic survey through mobile phones?
