The original P almore' s F acts on A ging Quiz was modi ed and presented to 954 elementary, middle, and high school students (grades 3, 6, 9, 12) in West V irginia and Texas. Three separate experiments were summariz ed involving the Child-A dolescent F acts on A ging Quiz (CA F A Q). Similar student responses on number of correct items and bias were noted in 1983 and 1998. A dolescents showed positive bias, but elementary school children showed negative bias toward older adults. F emale adolescents tended to show more positive bias than male adolescents. With regard to ethnicity, White adolescents answered more correct items than Hispanic adolescent students. Hispanic adolescents tended to show more negative bias than White or B lack adolescent students. No relationship between weekly contact with an older adult and accuracy or bias was observed.The authors express gratitude to Ann Wiley fo r assistance in sco ring the data in 1998. Gratitude is also expressed to Dr. Denetta Dowle and Terry Haught for assisting with the item analysis. Sinc ere thanks are also given to the princ ipals, teachers, and students of the participating scho ols.Address co rrespo ndence to Dr. Patric ia Haught, Department of Advanc ed Educational Studies, 506D A llen Hall,
