| Annotation | 201 middle-aged and 422 young adults completed an adaptation of the Severity of Violence Against Women Scale (SVWS) and the Elder Abuse Attitude and Behavioural Intention Scale - Revised (EAABIS-R) to examine the impact of respondent age, age and gender of victim and perpetrator, and history of violence experienced on perceptions of elder abuse. Results obtained support a view of elder abuse that emphasises its relativistic nature, wherein perceptions of elder abuse depend on both the characteristics of the perceiver and the victim, and perpetrator variables.
