New research has supposedly proven that age does bring wisdom — social wisdom.
Researchers at the University of Michigan found that older people were more likely than younger or middle-aged ones to recognize that values differ, to acknowledge uncertainties, to accept that things change over time and to acknowledge others’ points of view.
He said, “In modern America, older people generally don’t have greater knowledge about computers and other technology, but our results do indicate that the elderly have some advantages for analysis of social problems. I hope our results will encourage people to assume that older people may have something to contribute for thinking about social problems.”
