A total of 61 (N= 61) male and female, widowed and non-widowed elderlies, was included in the study. The design of the study was descriptive-correlational. Data were analyzed using Spearman’s rho Correlation Coefficient and Mann Whitney U Test with alpha level pegged at 0.05. Results showed that there was a significant difference in attitudes between widowed and nonwidowed elderlies with the latter showing more positive valence. In addition, the elderly’s perception of social support was significantly correlated with their attitudes toward aging. The expected relationship of the elderly’s attitude towards aging and other variables were not supported.x, 66 p.Atittude towards agingPerception of social supportPerception on death of a spouseSatisfaction with family lifeAgingElderlyWidowedNon-widowedLG 993.5 2017 P7 B37ThesisattitudesdeathfamilyagingelderlySDG 17 - Partnerships for the goalsSDG 16 - Peace, justice and strong institutionsSDG 3 - Good health and well-being
