Ambivalence
The concept of ambivalence is used extensively in the study of family ties and aging. Ambivalence connects contradictions at the micro‐ (mixed feelings, sentiments, and actions toward individuals and in relationships), meso‐ (social institutions), and macro‐ (structured social relations, social inequality) levels of analysis, focusing attention on the dynamics of negotiating ambivalence. Current conceptions of ambivalence, often referred to as st…
Who Counts as Family Later in Life? Following Theoretical Leads
A critical, multilevel conceptual framework provides alternative ways of addressing the question, Who counts as family later in life? The conceptual approach incorporates core ideas from life course, critical, and feminist perspectives, as well as the concept of ambivalence. Three meanings of the word count are used to address who should be included as family, which family ties are personally meaningful in the second half of life, and which famil…

They Got Older and Older, Until They Were Very Old”
Ambivalence in Later-Life Family Networks
In later life, changing conditions related to health, partnership, and economic status may trigger not only support but also conflict and ambivalence, with the consequent renegotiation of family ties. The aim of this study is to investigate both conflict and emotional support in the family networks of older adults, taking the research beyond the level of intergenerational dyads. We used a subsample of 563 elders (aged 65 years and older) from the…
Family Estrangement
Ambivalence and Living Apart Together in Later Life
Most unattached older persons who would like an intimate partnership do not want to remarry or be in a marriage-like relationship. A growing trend is to live apart together (LAT) in an ongoing intimate relationship that does not include a common home. We address the debate about whether LAT constitutes a new form of intimate relationship in a critical assessment of research on LAT relationships that applies ambivalence and concepts from the life …
Exploring Ambivalence in Family Ties
The 2002 exchange on ambivalence in the Journal of Marriage and Family (Vol. 64, No. 3), published under the editorship of Alexis Walker, prompted an impressive array of research on family ties, in particular intergenerational relationships. Following a discussion of the concept's theoretical underpinnings, the author argues that advancing the concept of ambivalence rests on realizing its multilevel potential by addressing the interplay of shifti…
Interview and Memoir
Following a qualitative approach, 2 case studies are used to assess the merits of research interviews and memoirs as story sources for exploring gay men's ongoing family ties, especially with parents and siblings. Theoretical and methodological frameworks on narrative analysis and family relationships are examined and applied to studying the 2 cases. Each methodology contributes insights into the family lives of gay men, and each has methodologic…

Negotiating Inequality Among Adult Siblings
Qualitative instrumental case study analysis of adult siblings from 2 families explores how socioeconomic inequality among them affects their relationships to one another. Eight middle-aged siblings' observations of childhood, parental expectations, work and family history, lifestyle, and current sibling ties indicate that childhood interdependence, parallel parental treatment, similar intergenerational mobility, greater success of the younger ra…

Ambivalence, Family Ties, and Doing Sociology
Sociological Ambivalence and Family Ties
We develop the concept of ambivalence as structurally created contradictions that are made manifest in interaction. We discuss how our reconceptualization enhances the relevance of ambivalence to sociological analyses of family ties. Ambivalence is a particularly useful concept when imbedded in a theoretical framework that views social structure as structured social relations, and individuals as actors who exercise agency as they negotiate relati…
Sibling Ties in Later Life
Using data from a study of 678 adults aged 55 and older, this article examines the role of siblings in four social support networks: confidants, companions, emotional support, and instrumental support, with a particular focus on the impact of gender and marital status on their role. Two types of analyses are used: probability analysis to determine the likelihood of specifying a given tie as a network member and compositional analysis of network m…

Closeness, Confiding, and Contact Among Siblings in Middle and Late Adulthood
The authors examine the impact of gender, marital status, and parent status on emotional closeness, confiding, and contact among siblings in middle and later life. Using data from a multistage quota sample that includes 528 respondents aged 55 and older who have one or more siblings, characteristics of both the respondent and the sibling or sibling network are studied. Separate analyses are conducted for the entire sibling network and for the sib…

Contact between Siblings in Later Life
Data from 400 older persons are used to examine sibling contact. The gender, marital, and parent status of the respondent and each of his or her siblings are used to create variables that describe the characteristics of 783 sibling dyads. The effect of these variables and geographic proximity on frequency of contact by mail, phone, and in person; the frequency of discussing important matters; and whether contact levels are as desired, is tested. …
The Relationship of Work History to Self-Definition of Employment Status among Older Women
This article examines the relationship of six work history dimensions to the self-definitions of employment status among older women. Women defining themselves as retired are compared to women defining themselves as housewives despite having worked outside the home. Work continuity, type of occupation, and work satisfaction do not vary significantly between the retired and housewives. However, the two employment-status groups do differ significan…
