Administered Mental Health Servicves Questionnaire to 100 older and 100 middle-aged adults. Found that age groups did not differ in how they defined serious psychological problems. Both age groups equally identified professional mental health services as appropriate for helping individuals with psychological problems. Although age did not affect perceptions, socioeconomic status did. (ABB)
