The ethnic attitudes of 74 Korean elderly immigrants, 41 second-generation Japanese elderly, and 42 U.S.-born White elderly toward their own ethnic group and the others were assessed by the Thurstone Attitude Scale. The Koreans' attitudes toward Koreans and White Americans were favorable. However, the Japanese favored Japanese conspicuously more than White Americans, and the Caucasians favored White Americans. Analysis of data showed few direct relationships between the ethnic attitudes and the elderly's social and economic resources and health. Finally, there is a discussion of problems related to identity in Asian Americans.
