In conclusion, the study highlighted how older adults' experiences and perceptions with intergenerational relationships and programs are shaped by both contact and motivation. Results indicated that contact alone may be insufficient, highlighting the need for a shift in mindset to view intergenerational relationships and programs as meaningful and rewarding.
