To evaluate age differences in social interactions between older adults and younger adults, you may consider the following:

Nature of social interactions: Define the types of social interactions that occur, including the frequency, quality, and context (e.g., face-to-face, online, casual, or supportive interactions). Assess how these interactions differ across age groups.

Social networks: Understand the structure and dynamics of social networks for both age groups. Explore how older adults may have smaller, more close-knit networks compared to younger adults, who might have larger and more diverse social circles.

Motivations for interaction: Investigate the reasons behind social interactions, such as companionship, emotional support, or information sharing. Consider how motivations may vary with age, influencing the nature and depth of interactions.

Research methods: Use surveys and interviews to gather qualitative and quantitative data on social interactions, and conduct observational studies to examine behaviors in real-time. Analyze the data to identify patterns and differences in social interaction styles between older and younger adults.

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?
