Age differences in the evaluation of elderly people’s functional capacities would relate to the relationship between elderly and their family, and the reliability of the assessment of the elderly. This study aimed to reveal how much there were differences in the evaluation of elderly people’s functional capacities between reports by self and other generations. I hypothesized that grandchildren would underestimate their grandparent’s functional capacities and that middle-aged children and grandchildren would evaluate that their grandparent has much narrower eyesight and weaker audibility to hear life sound than grandparents themselves. Participants were 136 three-generation families. Results showed that the evaluation of grandchildren was significantly higher in the five areas of their grandparent’s functional capacities than that of their grandparents (p < .01). Also, grandparents significantly overestimated their levels of eyesight than middle-aged children (p < .1). These results suggest that such discrepancies seemed to be different by the types of functional capacities and the age of evaluators. Future studies needed to use an objective indicator are needed for testing the reliability of subjective reports.
