AnnotationThis research builds on pioneer work on ethnic and generational variation in elder abuse by examining perceptions across four ethnic groups (European-American, African American, Puerto Rican, and Japanese American) and two generations (elder and 'baby boom' caregiver). Focus group discussions revealed differences in defining and responding to elder abuse; and suggested that psychological abuse and neglect may be more important mistreatment forms than previously acknowledged.
