Close To You? How Parent–Adult Child Contact Is Influenced by Family Patterns
The empirical patterns we report can be framed within enhancement and compensation models. Positive correlations and cross-sibling interactions that juxtapose levels of visiting against not seeing a child in last 12 months are consistent with the enhancement model. The cross-sibling interaction for distance, whereby one child's farther distance leads to more visits reported with others, provides evidence of a countervailing, though, weaker, patte…
The Criminal Corpse, Anatomists, and the Criminal Law
In the later eighteenth century, two schemes were introduced in Parliament for extending the practice of handing over the bodies of executed offenders to anatomists for dissection. Both measures were motivated by the needs of the field of anatomy, including the improvement of surgical skill, the development of medical teaching in the provinces, and public anatomical demonstrations. Yet both failed to pass into law due to concerns about the possib…
Rethinking the Bloody Code in Eighteenth-Century Britain
During the long eighteenth century the capital code, and more specifically the so-called ‘Bloody Code’, which subjected a vast and increasing range of property crimes to the death penalty, was the centre of much popular attention and of extensive debate.1 Hangings attracted huge, ambivalent and often unruly crowds.2 Newspapers reported hangings and capital trials in detail, and a growing volume of contemporary pamphlets and parliamentary debates …
Kinship and Cohort in an Aging Society
The More the Merrier? Multiple Parent-Adult Child Relations
Although parent-adult child ties are generally positive, most parents have multiple children whose relations may yield collective ambivalence combining higher and lower quality. Little research has investigated these multiple relations. NSFH respondents aged 50+ with adult children (N = 2,270) are used to assess patterns of quality and contact across multiple children in the same family. This illuminates mixed experiences, especially for lowest q…
Multiple Parent-Adult Child Relations and Well-Being in Middle and Later Life
Analyses that incorporate the relations of parents with their multiple adult children, viewed as part of a family network, yield a more comprehensive and nuanced view of those relations and their implications for well-being
Ambivalence About Ambivalence
T HIS reply is being coauthored because the issues raised link to an ongoing collaborative project. We welcome the opportunity to reply to the comment from Pillemer and Suitor (this issue, pages S394–S396) on the research reported by Ward (2008). Pillemer and Suitor’s work has made important conceptual and empirical contributions to understanding the complexities of parent–adult child relations and within-family differentiation in those relations…

Marital Implications of Parent-Adult Child Coresidence
Coresidence with adult children does not appear to be an experience that disrupts the quality of marital relations. It may be that qualitative dimensions of coresidence experiences with adult children matter more than coresidence per se
Sandwiched Marriages
The well-being of the “sandwich generation” is presumed to be affected by simultaneous relations and exchanges with adult children and aging parents. The implications of intergenerational involvements for marital relations in midlife is analyzed for a sample of 2,129 married persons forty to fifty-nine years old from the National Survey of Families and Households. Being a parent or child is common, though variable by age, but helping both generat…
Intergenerational Linkages
Gender Differences in Parent-Child Coresidence Experiences
Gender differences in exchanges and parent-child relations for adult children residing in parent households are investigated using data from the National Survey of Families and Households. Daughters report doing more housework, and sons are more likely to pay room and board, but both exchanges are modest and are unrelated to each other and to the reported quality of parentchild relations. There are few differences between sons and daughters in pa…
Will the Children Ever Leave
Despite recent attention to parent-child coresidence, little is known about differences between continuing and return coresidence or how these may vary with age. A sample of 716 adult children residing in parent households (from the National Survey of Families and Households) is used to investigate the antecedents of continuing and return coresidence and the plans and expectations of coresident children; and although young adult children predomin…
Household Labor in Intergenerational Households
The study of household labor has grown dramatically in recent years. Researchers have investigated how husbands and wives divide household labor, how this division is influenced by paid work, and whether husbands and wives feel the distribution is fair. However, little attention has been given to other household members. One group that has received perhaps the least attention, considering their growing numbers, is adult children who reside in par…

The Influence of Parent and Child Needs on Coresidence in Middle and Later Life
As Old as You Feel
The factors influencing the identification of oneself as “old” have been studied extensively for people in their later life. This study extends the analysis to the middle years of life, when transitions may occur from age identities of young to middle-aged, as well as from middle-aged to old. It replicates previous findings for the effects of chronological age and poor health on older age identity. The study also demonstrates that having children…
Consequences of Parent-Adult Child Coresidence
Coresidence by parents and adult children is not preferred or normative, but neither is it uncommon. Contrary to expectations based on caregiving for frail older parents, such coresidence more typically reflects the housing needs of the coresident children, who are disproportionately unmarried and living in households of parents. Although limited research on consequences of coresidence indicates that it is not generally characterized by dissatisf…
Age and Patterns of HMO Satisfaction
Consumerism and increasing complexity in health care options highlight the importance of health care satisfaction. Patterns and sources of satisfaction are assessed for health maintenance organizations (HMOs), a relatively novel option, using national survey data. Particular attention is paid to age differences, because HMO Medicare coverage is a recent development and older people generally express little HMO familiarity or receptivity. Higher s…
Age Differences in HMO Receptivity
The changing health care market has highlighted the role of the individual in choosing health care providers. HMOs are a relatively novel option, particularly for Medicare beneficiaries. National survey data are used to assess patterns of HMO receptivity. Older persons are less familiar with the HMO model. They also express less favorable attitudes toward HMOs and less enrollment interest. HMO receptivity is a function of health care attitudes an…

HMO Satisfaction and Understanding Among Recent Medicare Enrollees
HMO enrollment is growing substantially, with particular interest in stimulating Medicare enrollment. The outcomes of this relatively novel form of health care for older persons are unclear, however. A survey of 124 recent enrollees in HMO Medicare coverage assessed their experiences as a follow-up to a study of their enrollment decision. Satisfaction with various dimensions of care and coverage is high, reflecting fulfillment of high expectation…
Fear of Crime Among the Elderly as Person/Environment Interaction
Despite lower victimization, older people express greater fear of crime. The causes and consequences of such fear are investigated for a 1980 sample of 1,185 persons aged 60+. Fear of crime is a response to both personal vulnerability and locational cues. Fear reduces subjective well-being, but has little relation to activity patterns. While social resources have little bearing on fear of crime and its consequences, variations by sex and personal…

The Ecology of Aging
This paper explores the determinants of neighborhood satisfaction for a population of older persons. Here neighborhood satisfaction is presumed to be the result of a complicated process involving: objective qualities in the neighborhood, the psychological and physical state of the person making the evaluation, as well as the person's own subjective definitions of the neighborhood. The intent of this research is to weigh the significance of these …

Patterns of Age Segregation
Older Americans are residentially segregated in the American metropolis. This paper reports the results of an ecological analysis of 70 SMSAs and 612 census tracts within these metropolitan areas. Two basic research questions are explored: 1) Why are the elderly segregated from the young? and 2) Where do the elderly reside within the metropolitan area? Metropolitan differences in the level of age segregation can be explained by traditional ecolog…

Typifications of Homosexuals
Despite the importance of stereotyping to labeling theory, images of deviants have not been widely studied. This paper reports on social typifications about homosexuals. The data were obtained from 413 people in an urban metropolitan area who were asked to choose characteristics of homosexuals from a list of 34 traits. Factor analysis yielded three stereotypic dimensions: Sinful Lust, Sensitive Intellectual, and Sick Deviant. Compared with earlie…
The Age Segregation Process
There is considerable variation among metropolitan areas in the extent of residential age segregation. The effects of variables derived from three possible explanations of age segregation-ecological, cultural, and political models-are assessed through path- analytic techniques. A significant amount of the variation in age segregation can be accounted for by variables indexing the tightness of local housing markets, population growth, suburbanizat…
