Ambivalence in Older Parent-Adult Child Relationships: Mixed Feelings, Mixed Measures
This research compared direct and indirect measures of ambivalence, 2 commonly used strategies for measuring intergenerational ambivalence between older parents and their adult children. Directly and indirectly measured ambivalence, corresponding to felt and potential manifestations of the construct, were contrasted with each other and across generations. Data were derived from 253 older parent-adult child dyads participating in the Longitudinal …

Aging and Family Life: A Decade Review
In this review, we summarize and critically evaluate the major empirical, conceptual, and theoretical directions that studies of aging families have taken during the first decade of the 21st century. The field has benefited from an expanded perspective based on four overarching themes: (a) complexity in emotional relations, (b) diversity in family structures and households, (c) interdependence of family roles and functions, and (d) patterns and o…
Older Parent-Child Relationships in Six Developed Nations: Comparisons at the Intersection of Affection and Conflict
Intergenerational solidarity and ambivalence paradigms suggest that emotional relationships between generations consist of both positive and negative sentiments. We applied latent class analysis to measures of affection and conflict in 2,698 older parent-child relationships in 6 developed nations: England, Germany, Israel, Norway, Spain, and the United States (Southern California). The best fitting model consisted of 4 latent classes distributed …
What Makes Someone Family? Adult Children's Perceptions of Current and Former Stepparents
This study examined the extent to which adult children perceived current and former, legal or cohabiting, partners of biological parents as family members and parents and determined what factors were associated with these perceptions. Data come from 443 adult children participating in the 1997 wave of the Longitudinal Study of Generations. Hypotheses were developed on the basis of a synthesis of the solidarity-conflict model and the life course p…

Grandparents: A New Look at the Supporting Generation
Reciprocity in Parent-Child Relations Over the Adult Life Course
The results offer some support for investment, insurance, and altruistic models of intergenerational exchange. Sharing time in activities provides a direct return to the parent that is characteristic of an investment strategy, whereas financial transfers provide a time-contingent return that is characteristic of an insurance mechanism. That affection triggers greater support to more functionally impaired mothers suggests that emotionally investin…
Solidarity, Conflict, and Ambivalence: Complementary or Competing Perspectives on Intergenerational Relationships
Grandparent-Adult Grandchild Affection and Consensus: Cross-Generational and Cross-Ethnic Comparisons
Euro-American grandparents' ratings of affection for, and consensus with, their adult grandchildren have been found to be significantly greater than the grandchildren's ratings-a phenomenon known as the 'intergenerational stake phenomenon.' However, it is unclear whether this cross-generational difference in affection and perceived consensus exists for all gender dyads and for more collectivistic ethnic groups. This study compared levels of affec…

Parenting and Co‐parenting of Grandchildren: Effects on Grandparents' Well‐being and Family Solidarity
Increasing numbers of grandparents are raising their grandchildren because of problems within the parental generation such as drug and alcohol addiction, AIDS, divorce, and unemployment. Yet little is known about how grandparents who “parent” or “co‐parent” then‐grandchildren differ from other grandparents, or the extent to which parenting or co‐parenting grandchildren affects grandparent's psychological, physical, or financial well‐being, or fee…
