The Geriatric Attitude Scale is a tool used to measure attitudes toward aging and older adults, often focusing on how health professionals, caregivers, or the general public perceive geriatric care and the elderly.

These perceptions can significantly influence how older individuals are treated, the types of care they receive, and their overall quality of life.
