Tracing the Religious Life Course in an American Baby-Boom Cohort: Parental Influence and Temporal Dynamics
The development of religiosity originates in earlier phases of the family and individual life course, yet few studies have investigated how early exposure to parental religiosity persists into mid- and later life. This investigation uses multigenerational data from 385 baby boom children, ages 16–26, and their parents in 1971, following children’s religious orientations into midlife and old age. Guided by intergenerational transmission and path d…
The Effects of Social Presence of Dementia-Prevention Chatbot on Isolation and Interpersonal Resilience Among Older Adults Living Alone: Evidence on Three-Wave Experiment
Dementia-prevention technologies have mostly focused on cognitive enhancement, often neglecting the social aspects of healthy aging. This study examines whether the perceived social presence of a dementia-prevention chatbot, developed through sustained use, can reduce isolation and strengthen interpersonal resilience through communication networks among older adults living alone in Korea. A three-wave experimental design ( N = 110) was implemente…

Intergenerational and digital solidarity and psychological well‐being: During and post– Covid ‐19 pandemic in Korean families
Solidarity With Friends, Relationship Status, and Mental Health During the Covid-19 Pandemic
While the solidarity paradigm has been extensively applied to intergenerational relationships, its relevance to adult friendships remains largely unexplored. Therefore, we aimed to uncover distinct types of solidarity with friends among adults and examine whether these types are associated with mental health (depressive symptoms, psychological well-being, and self-esteem) during the COVID-19 pandemic. Furthermore, we examined the moderating role …
Profiles of intergenerational and digital solidarity between middle‐aged parents and young adult children during the Covid ‐19 pandemic: Associations with parents' psychological well‐being
We uncovered latent profiles of intergenerational and digital solidarity between middle‐aged parents and their oldest young adult children during the COVID‐19 pandemic. Furthermore, we investigated whether solidarity latent profiles were related to middle‐aged parents' psychological well‐being. We used data from the 2022 survey of the Longitudinal Study of Generations (LSOG), which involved 234 middle‐aged parents providing information about thei…
Intergenerational Solidarity With Older Parents and Self‐Esteem of Middle‐Aged Children During the Covid‐19 Pandemic: The United States and South Korea Comparison
Intergenerational social support has been considered an important factor in overcoming the COVID‐19 pandemic crisis. However, prior research has overlooked the connection between intergenerational solidarity—social cohesion between generations—and self‐esteem across Western and Asian families during the pandemic. We aimed to discover common unobserved latent classes of intergenerational solidarity with older parents among middle‐aged adults durin…
Intergenerational Solidarity and Family Functioning Within Korean Families in the Post‐Pandemic Transition
Although intergenerational solidarity and circumplex models are widely used in family science, the articulation between these two theoretical models is less explored, particularly over time and in response to exogenous shocks such as a pandemic. Therefore, we aimed to identify dyadic latent classes of intergenerational solidarity between parents and adult children following the COVID‐19 pandemic in South Korea, and whether the derived classes and…
Does Religiosity Reduce Mortality Risk Over the Second Half of Life Among Southern Californians? A Multidimensional Model Within a Hazard Modeling Framework
This study explored the relationship between a multidimensional typology of religiosity and risk of mortality. Using data from middle-aged Southern California respondents in the Longitudinal Study of Generations, we performed latent class analysis to construct a typology of religiosity, which was then used to predict mortality from 1971 to 2020. We identified four religiosity classes: strongly, weakly, privately, and liberally religious. Cox prop…
Korean parents' intergenerational solidarity with adult children and their psychological outcomes during the Covid-19 pandemic
Previous research has rarely considered the nested nature of family solidarity when investigating the within-group heterogeneity of parent-child solidarity, particularly within the context of Korean families. Consequently, less is known about patterns of intergenerational solidarity at the family level during the COVID-19 pandemic in South Korea. Using data from Korean parents with multiple adult children during the pandemic, this study aimed to …
Intergenerational Value Discordances and Affectual and Associational Solidarity Between Older Parents and Adult Children
Using data from the Longitudinal Study of Generations 2016, we tested three hypotheses: (1) discordances in three intergenerational values (religion, gender role attitudes, and political attitudes) between parents and adult children would be negatively related to their affectual and associational solidarity with each other, (2) discordances in three values would be more deleterious for children's perceived solidarity with parents than vice versa,…
Typologies of helicopter parenting and parental affection: Associations with emerging adults’ academic outcomes
Intergenerational solidarity and digital communication during the Covid‐19 pandemic in South Korea: Implications for dyadic well‐being
Previous research has not considered how digital communication fits with the established intergenerational solidarity paradigm, although the paradigm has undergone other refinements over time. Consequently, less is known about how the use of digital communication creates new types of intergenerational solidarity between parents and adult children, and how they are associated with their well‐being. With this foundation, we aimed to identify new dy…
Intergenerational solidarity with digital communication and psychological well‐being among older parents during the Covid ‐19 pandemic

Did Gender Egalitarianism Weaken Religiosity in Baby Boom Women? A Developmental-Historical Approach
This investigation used long-term longitudinal survey data from baby boomer women to identify whether strengthening gender role egalitarianism in early adulthood predicted declines in religious service attendance and religious intensity in later life. The aging of this cohort coincided with dramatic societal shifts in gender values and religiosity. The data were derived from 350 women participating in the Longitudinal Study of Generations, a stud…
Is helicopter parenting related to college students’ mental health? A typological and cross‐cultural approach
Religious Transitions Among Baby Boomers From Young Adulthood to Later Life: Associations with Psychological Well-Being Over 45 Years
We used classification analysis to examine change in religiosity among baby boomers from young adulthood to early old age and how religiosity transition patterns are associated with psychological well-being in later life. In addition, we tested the gender difference in the above association. We applied latent class and latent transition analysis to 392 baby boomers who participated in the Longitudinal Study of Generations in Wave-1 (1971) and Wav…
Reciprocal associations between affectual, associational, and normative solidarity with parents during children’s early to established adulthood
Intergenerational solidarity has become increasingly important to understand, as close family members mobilize the provision of social support across generations and contribute to family wellbeing. However, less is known about continuity and change in normative (eldercare norms), affectual, and associational solidarity with mothers and fathers as children emerge into full or established adulthood. Therefore, we focused on reciprocal associations …
Do religious transitions from early to established adulthood predict filial elder‐care norms
