| dc.description.abstract | The purpose of this study was to explore differences in the recreation areas
of lifelong learning, intergenerational programs, fitness and exercise, art and
culture programs, and the ability to stay up-to-date with technology between the
current senior citizen generations and the aging baby boomer generation. Survey
questionnaires were administered to 49 respondents of the baby boomer
generation and 66 respondents of the current senior citizen generations. Results
of the survey showed a strong negative correlation between age and the person's
self-proclaimed need for the recreation areas studied. The baby boomers of
Grand Forks, for the most part, are similar to the national cohort in their wants and
needs in these five recreation areas. | en_US |
