Parental Style, Grandchild Problematic Behaviors, and Parental Role Demands Among Grandparent Caregivers
The present study evaluates the impact of grandchild distress on parental competence as mediated by Baumrind's parental styles in a sample of 238 custodial grandparents ( M age = 58.06). AMOS structural equation findings yielded a model which indicated that both the Laissez-Faire and Authoritarian styles each predicted role stress and/or parental efficacy. Laissez-Faire's mediating role was defined by its link to the grandparent age—internalizing…
Predictors of Barriers to Service Among Kinship Caregivers
Understanding barriers to service is critical to the well-being of kinship caregivers. Data from 133 such persons was examined via hierarchical regression analyses where predictors were based upon Andersen’s model of service use and barriers were treated as multidimensional in nature. With a few exceptions, Predisposing, Enabling, and Needs variables predicted not only overall barriers but also each of five dimensions of barriers to service, wher…
What Is the Impact of Custodial Grandchildren Receiving Mental Health Care on Grandparent Caregivers
The purpose of the present study is to analyze the potential impact of a custodial grandchild receiving mental healthcare on grandparent caregivers’ psychosocial functioning. Findings suggested that grandparents of grandchildren who had received some form of mental healthcare were more personally distressed, experienced less social support and more parental strain/stress, and were less resilient. Such grandparents were also less attached to their…

Grandparents raising grandchildren face immense challenges including facing poverty, caring for children with behavioral difficulties, and barriers in accessing resources that can assist them. These challenges were exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic. Empowerment training is an intervention that builds resiliency in developing skills that can increase the support that grandparents receive via services and from others. This pilot study evaluated …
Resilience and Social Support as Resources for Kinship Caregivers Who are Coping with Covid-19
This study explored the roles of social support and resilience in understanding the impact of barriers to needed services as well as the impact of COVID-19 on kinship caregivers’ efforts to care for themselves. Based upon a sample of 135 kinship caregivers, analyses suggested that social support and resilience mediated barriers to service – self-care relationships as well as impact of COVID-19 – self-care relationships, subject to whether overall…
Social and Emotional Loneliness
Despite the fact that the literature suggests loneliness to undermine cognitive functioning in later life, no work has simultaneously examined the relationships between these constructs taking a multidimensional approach to the assessment of each. The present study explored relationships among social and emotional loneliness and both general crystallized (Gc) and general fluid (Gf) ability, as well as to several indices of everyday intellectual f…
Grandmother and grandchild reports of psychological difficulties among custodial Grandchildren
We conducted this first ever study comparing reports of custodial grandchildren's (CG) psychological difficulties obtained jointly from 163 custodial grandmothers (CGM) and their CG between ages 6-12. Internalizing and externalizing difficulties were indicated by whether any of the corresponding scales on the Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire (SDQ, reported by CGM) or Dominic Interactive (DI, reported by CG) reached the 90th percentile. In…

Rural versus urban residence as an influence on grandparent caregivers’ needs for service
The present study explored the impact of rural (n = 26) versus urban (n = 49) environments on perceived needs for services among grandparent caregivers, wherein persons participated in focus groups targeting their needs and concerns and/or completed a mailed survey. While findings suggested substantial similarity across rural and urban persons in unmet needs, areas of difficulty, and service barriers, rural grandparents who reported their health …
Grandfathers
Grandfathers: Global Perspectives, edited by Drs. Ann Buchanan and Anna Rotkirch, is an intriguing and much needed book in several respects. It not only addresses grandparenting from an internation
The “How” and “When” of Parental Loss in Adulthood
In order to evaluate the role of cause of death on the grief responses of parentally bereaved young and middle-aged adults, 400 individuals completed measures assessing their experiences and feelings surrounding the loss of a parent. Respondents included 247 young adults and 155 middle-aged adults. Cause of death was categorized as acute or anticipated with 209 participants reporting the parent's death as acute, while anticipated death was report…
Development of a Scale to Measure Death Perspectives
Kastenbaum and Aisenberg have suggested that persons can cope with the impact of death and dying by altering their understanding of what each means to them as well as by changing their behavioral responses to such experiences. The present study's purpose was to develop a reliable and valid measure to assess an individual's particular death perspective based on Kastenbaum and Aisenberg's distinctions between overcomers and participators. The Death…

Custodial Grandparenting and the Impact of Grandchildren with Problems on Role Satisfaction and Role Meaning
This study compared three groups of grandparents, attempting to disentangle grandparental role demands from child-specific problems as sources of role-specific and grandchild-relationship distress. Those grandparents raising grandchildren reported to demonstrate neurological, physical, emotional, or behavioral problems exhibited the most personal distress, the least role satisfaction and role meaning, and the most deteriorated grandparent-grandch…
Grandmother-Grandchild Relationship Quality Predicts Psychological Adjustment Among Youth From Divorced Families
This study investigates maternal grandmother-grandchild relationship quality as a predictor of psychological adjustment among youth from divorced families. Three hundred twenty-four adolescents aged between 17 and 20 report on the quality of their relationships with their maternal grandmothers and their relational competence, self-efficacy, and psychological symptoms. Structural equation modeling analyses support a model in which participants' re…
Social Support and Grandparent Caregiver Health
Greater social support may lay the groundwork for better health, and such support, in concert with better health as well as lessened parental stress may prevent the development of depression among grandparent caregivers
Health and Grandparent–Grandchild Well-Being
In general, these longitudinal data indicate that better perceived health may provide an adaptive advantage for both grandparent caregivers and their grandchildren, yet also underscore to the potentially causal role that proactivity in the face of adversity plays in the maintenance and improvement of grandparent caregiver health over time

Relationships Between Grief and Family System Characteristics
The present study explored the question of whether the grief process affects the characteristics of relationships within the family system or, alternatively, whether family characteristics affect the experience of grief symptoms. Sixty-one people who had recently experienced the death of a parent (82%) or spouse (18%) completed a questionnaire to assess their current grief symptomatology and characteristics of the relationships within their famil…
Grandparents Raising Their Grandchildren
Grandparents who raise their grandchildren have become more prevalent as an alternate family form that is, by its very nature, intergenerational in character. This paper explores the state of our knowledge about such grandparents in light of the following themes: (1) the diversity among grandparent caregivers, (2) the importance of social support for such persons and the impact of raising a grandchild on relationships with others, (3) theoretical…
Needs for Information About Supportive Resources
This study's purpose was to explore relationships among perceived needs for information about resources, service needs, and service use. Ninety-three African-American grandmothers aged 36 to 78 who were primary caregivers for their biological grandchildren participated.

The Effects of Time Pressure and Issue Settlement Order on Integrative Bargaining
A laboratory bargaining experiment was conducted with 120 undergraduates to determine how conflict resolution and integrative bargaining are affected by time pressure and issue settlement order. Settlements were reached faster but joint payoff was lower under high time pressure than under low time pressure. Joint payoff was less when the issues were settled sequentially than when the negotiators were unrestricted in settlement order or were requi…
Perceptions of Custodial Grandparents Among Young Adults
This study's purpose was to investigate young adults' perceptions of grandparents who are raising their grandchildren. Over 1,200 young adult volunteers (M age = 21) read a randomly assigned scenario describing a grandparent raising a grandchild. Scenarios varied in terms of grandchild gender, grandparent ethnicity, the presence/absence of grandchild problems, and the reason for the assumption of the grandparent caregiving role. Results suggested…
Parenting Attitudes and Adjustment Among Custodial Grandparents
Custodial grandparents (CGPs; n = 42), parents (n = 39), and noncustodial grandparents (GPs; n = 44) completed measures of parenting attitudes (e.g., belief in the use of corporal punishment) and parental adjustment (e.g., parenting stress). Moreover, half of the actively parenting participants were caring for a (grand)child with emotional or behavioral problems. While CGPs and parents differed in their self-reported levels of empathy toward chil…

Assessing Attitudes toward Grandparents Raising Their Grandchildren
This article describes the assessment of attitudes toward grandparent caregivers held by noncaregiving grandparents. Six hundred two grandparents not currently caring for grandchildren completed an 18-item measure of such attitudes. This attitude scale was both internally consistent and multidimensional in nature. Attitudes were more positive for grandparents reporting previous experience caring for a grandchild and such attitudes were in part pr…
Motivational Style, Length of Residence, Voluntariness, and Gender as Influences on Adjustment to Long Term Care
Seventy-five institutionalized older adults (Mage = 79.08, SD=9.73, 25 males, 50 females) varying by length of residence, gender, and motivational style (self determined vs. motivational) were queried to explore the impact of these variables on indicators of adjustment, i.e., health, life satisfaction, desired and expected control, self-esteem, ADLs, and positive/negative affect. MANCOVAs (controlling for social desirability) indicated self-deter…
The Beneficial Effects of Senior Center Attendance on Grandparents Raising Grandchildren
The purpose of the present study was to explore the effects of attendance at a senior center on the well-being and quality of life of grandparents raising grandchildren. Grandparents (N = 130) who were raising grandchildren completed a self-administered demographic data survey, an attendance at a senior center questionnaire, and measures of quality of life, well-being, loneliness, caregiver burden, and satisfaction. A MANOVA suggested that senior…

Perceiving a Negative Event as Central to One’s Identity Partially Mediates Age Differences in Posttraumatic Stress Disorder Symptoms
The results are consistent with the Socioemotional Selectivity Theory view that older adults tend to use cognitive strategies designed to protect emotional health
Long-term Efficacy of Fluid Ability Interventions with Older Adults
Three-year follow-up data were gathered from 108 elderly persons to investigate the long-term efficacy of fluid ability (Gf) interventions with the aged. Results suggested that the effects of reminding older persons to use previously acquired training strategies facilitated 3-year Letter Series performance, particularly so for stress inoculation participants. No reminder effects were observed for Letter Sets scores. While 3-year declines in Lette…

Joint payoff was less when the issues were settled sequentially than when the negotiators were unrestricted in settlement order or were requi…
Occupation-Related Differences in Levels of Death Anxiety
In order to ascertain the validity of the sentence completion method in the measurement of death anxiety, ten randomly selected items from the Rotter Incomplete Sentence Blank, Templer Death Anxiety Scale (DAS), Collett-Lester Attitude toward Death Scale, and a metaphoric image task were administered to forty volunteers in death-related occupations (firemen, funeral personnel) and forty individuals in non-death related occupations (secretaries, a…
Impact of Hospice Volunteer Training on Death Anxiety and Locus of Control
This investigation examined the effects of a hospice volunteer training program on locus of control and death anxiety. Experimental participants consisted of hospice volunteers who underwent an eight-week volunteer training course ( N = 29) and controls who were selected from the hospice mailing list ( N = 30). Results indicated both groups decreased in generalized conscious death fear, but increased in their conscious fear of others' deaths, alt…
Locus of Control-Levels of Death Anxiety Relationships
In an effort to more fully understand locus of control-death fear relationships, fifty-nine individuals were administered the Levenson Locus of Control scale, the Collett-Lester and Templer scales measuring overt death fear, and a sentence completion task assessing dimensions of covert fear. Correlational analysis suggested interactions among aspects of locus of control and aspects of death fear varying along the death/dying, self/other, and over…
The Measurement of Communication Apprehension regarding the Terminally Ill
In order to establish the reliability and validity of a scale assessing communication apprehension regarding the dying, measures of generalized communication apprehension (CA), communication apprehension regarding the dying (CA-Dying), and death anxiety were administered to fifty-nine individuals, twenty-nine of whom had enrolled in an eight-week hospice volunteer training program, and thirty of whom were on the hospice mailing list. Results sugg…
Response Bias in Hospice Evaluation
As a relatively new means of health care in the United States, hospices are continually seeking feedback to disclose ways in which they may provide more effective palliative services for patients and their families. An important source of such information has been caregiver evaluations, since these surveys reflect the needs for services of respondents and satisfaction with care. Bass found significant differences between caregivers who responded …
Similarity of Perceptions of Bereavement Experiences between Widows and Professionals
Widows and four groups of professionals (clergy, physicians, counselors, and funeral directors) were compared in regards to their perceptions of conjugal bereavement. Results suggested consistent differences between widows' self-perceptions and professionals' views regarding the impact of bereavement and the necessity for adaptative coping mechanisms to deal with loss. Professionals saw bereavement as having a more negative impact and requiring t…
Levels of Death Anxiety in Terminally Ill Men
Twenty-five men, twelve of whom were healthy and thirteen of whom had been diagnosed with AIDS, were administered measures of overt (Templer DAS) and covert (Incomplete Sentence Blank) fear of death in order to ascertain levels of death anxiety in those with a terminal illness. Results suggested that while men who had AIDS and those who were healthy did not differ in Templer DAS scores, Incomplete Sentence Blank total scores were higher ( p < .01…
Effects of Death Education on Conscious and Unconscious Death Anxiety
One-hundred sixty-two adults varying in the extent to which they participated in either didactic or experiential forms of death education versus those who had no such exposure to death and dying-related issues completed both self-report measures of overt death fear as well as twenty-five sentence completion stems assessing unconscious covert death fears. Data analysis suggested that in contrast to previous research, didactic death education was e…
Measuring Attitudes toward Euthanasia
The development of a measure assessing attitudes toward euthanasia is presented, where data gathered from over 400 young adults yielded a thirty item Likert scale with high internal consistency and test-retest reliability. Additionally, the discriminant validity of the scale was found in comparisons of those with death-related versus non-death-related experiences

Death Education and Communication Apprehension regarding Dying Persons
Death-related attitudinal changes in students enrolled in a Psychology of Death and Dying course were compared to those of students enrolled in Introduction to Psychology and Introductory Communication. Results indicated that communication apprehension regarding dying persons (CA-Dying) was more highly correlated with many death-related variables than was generalized communication apprehension (CA). In addition, those in the Death and Dying class…
Levels of Death Anxiety in Terminally Ill Persons
In order to explore the viability of the distinction between overt and covert levels of death fear, 141 individuals (32 HIV positive who had full-blown AIDS, 39 HIV positive without full-blown AIDS, 70 age-matched controls) were administered measures of conscious and unconscious death anxiety as well as a variety of self-report scales assessing life satisfaction, well-being, regrets about one's life, and hopelessness. While results suggested mini…
The Contribution of Small Life Events to the Psychological Distress of Married and Widowed Older Women
The contribution of small life events to the prediction of general psychological distress was examined for 50 married and 21 recently widowed older women. These two groups were contrasted as having or not having experienced an uncontrollable major life stressor (i.e., the recent death of a spouse). Negative small life events (i.e., daily hassles) contributed above and beyond general demographic factors; conjugal bereavement status; social support…
The Relationship Between Stepdaughters' Self-Esteem and Perceived Parenting Behavior
The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between self-esteem of adolescent females living in stepfamilies and perceived parenting practices. Female adolescents from stepfamilies completed the Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale and the Parent Behavior Form for each parent (mother, stepfather, and nonresidential father). Results consistent with hypotheses derived from the theory of reflected appraisal suggested that when perceived stepfat…
Factor Structure of the Bereavement Experience Questionnaire
To empirically determine the factor structure of the original sixty-seven-item Bereavement Experience Questionnaire (BEQ) (Demi, 1984; Demi & Schroeder, 1987, 1989), data from 437 adults bereaved within the past two years were subjected to exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis. Results did not support the original theoretically based, eight-factor structure, but did suggest a three-factor structure with fewer items. A twenty-four-item thre…
Age Differences in Levels of Overt and Covert Death Anxiety
The current study explored the relationship between conscious (overt) and unconscious (covert) death anxiety and chronological age, wherein composite scores as well as factor scores were used in the comparison of younger and older adults. Results indicated that there were reliable age differences in both overt and covert levels of death fear. Contrary to previous literature, older adults evidenced higher levels of overt fear, while younger adults…
Custodial Grandparenting and the Impact of Grandchildren with Problems on Role Satisfaction and Role Meaning
This study compared three groups of grandparents, attempting to disentangle grandparental role demands from child-specific problems as sources of role-specific and grandchild-relationship distress. Those grandparents raising grandchildren reported to demonstrate neurological, physical, emotional, or behavioral problems exhibited the most personal distress, the least role satisfaction and role meaning, and the most deteriorated grandparent-grandch…
Influence of Perceived Preventability of the Death and Emotional Closeness to the Deceased
This study tested Bugen's (1977, 1979) model of human grief with data from 435 adults, ages eighteen to eighty-eight years old, who had attended the funeral of a family member or close friend in the past two years. The model's two factors, Emotional Closeness to the deceased and Perceived Preventability of the death, were strong predictors of grief and bereavement adjustment. To test the robustness of this model, these two factors were then used …
The Relationship of Cause of Death to Attitudes Toward Funerals and Bereavement Adjustment
Four hundred and thirty-eight adults aged eighteen to eighty-eight ( M age = 35) who had lost a close friend or family member within the last two years completed questionnaires to ascertain the relationship of cause of death to attitudes toward the funeral and bereavement adjustment. While deaths that were expected were associated with more adaptive bereavement adjustment, cause of death was independent of participation in prefuneral, funeral, an…
Selective Attrition Effects in Bereavement Research
The study examined the effects of selective attrition on the picture of bereavement adjustment painted by longitudinal studies. Originally, 185 conjugally and nonconjugally bereaved adults ( M age = 50, range 20–82) were administered a battery of self-report measures indexing psychological functioning and adjustment to loss. Complete data gathered six months later were available from 166 persons (133 completers, 33 dropouts), while for a follow-u…
The Impact of Hospice on Attitudes toward Funerals and Subsequent Bereavement Adjustment
One hundred and twenty-three bereaved individuals ( M age=36) whose loved ones had died of a terminal illness within the last year completed a series of self-report measures to ascertain the impact of hospice care use on funeral participation and bereavement adjustment. As a general rule, hospice users ( n=57) reported better post-death adjustment and participated more fully in the funeral than did non-hospice users ( n=66). Such effects for the …
The Development of the Physicians' End-of-Life Care Attitude Scale
The Physicians' End-of-Life Care Attitude Scale (PEAS) was developed as an outcome measure for palliative care education. PEAS assesses the willingness of medical trainees to care for dying patients. Sixty-four Likert-type questions were created on the basis of discussions with focus groups of medical trainees, then administered to sixty-two medical students and residents. Total PEAS scores as well as personal preparation and professional role su…
