If you had a healthy, 70-year-old uncle who wanted to marry a widow just two years after his wife's death, what do you think your feelings would be? What do these feelings reveal about your stereotypes?
What will be an ideal response?
Positive responses should recognize that intimate relationships are important for the
elderly person in terms of their emotional well-being. Negative responses may
include feelings of anger or betrayal or a failure to value the importance of late-adult
relationships. Stereotypes that may be explored include the view that children and
grandchildren can fulfill all the affiliation needs an older person might have and also
a mistrust of decisions made by older people.
