Age Differences and Similarities in Associated Stressors and Outcomes Among Young, Midlife, and Older Adult Family Caregivers
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Few studies have simultaneously compared caregivers in all stages of the adult life course. This study examined age differences in associations among primary stressors (caregiver burden which includes hours of provided care and number of activities of daily living and instrumental activities of daily living performed), secondary stressors (financial and employment strains), and caregiver outcomes (emotional strain and p…
Complex Role of Touch in Social Relationships for Older Adults’ Cardiovascular Disease Risk
The purpose of this study was to examine the links among relationship quality (RQ) and predictors of cardiovascular risks and consider the role of physical touch as a moderator. The sample includes 2,731 adults who participated in the National Social Life Health and Aging Project (NSHAP). Results indicate that positive RQ and negative RQ are associated with systolic blood pressure (BP) and pulse pressure (PP) depending on the level of physical to…
A Double-Edged Sword
This study contributes to research on race and family ties by exploring racial differences in the direct effects of family support exchanges on daily well-being and the extent to which family support buffers/exacerbates stressor reactivity. African Americans and European Americans aged 34 to 84 years ( N = 1,931) from the National Study of Daily Experiences reported on family support exchanges (i.e., support received/support provided), daily stre…
Daily Emotional and Physical Reactivity to Stressors Among Widowed and Married Older Adults
Attention to the types of daily stressors that widowed older adults experience in daily life and the potential physical effects of daily stressors during widowhood may help to alleviate some of the physical distress that widowed older adults may experience
"Help With "Strings Attached
Findings suggest that perceptions of conflicted support are embedded in a larger constellation of relationship problems and underlying distress for parents and children. These patterns may reflect lifelong difficulties in the tie or that arise in adulthood. Researchers might seek to understand how dyads experiencing such conflicted support differ from more normative relationships characterized by warmth and well-received support
You Are Such a Disappointment
Parents experience emotions associated with unmet goals and future concerns in relationships with less successful children. Mothers may respond emotionally to career and relationship success, whereas fathers may respond emotionally primarily to their child's career success. Findings underscore the importance of considering the context of parents' negative emotional experiences in ties to adult children
Conflict Engagement and Conflict Disengagement During Interactions Between Adults and Their Parents
Findings suggest that even as adults, parents and children in poorer quality relationships may engage in potentially ineffective behaviors to resolve conflicts
Racial Differences in Exposure and Reactivity to Daily Family Stressors
Using data from the National Study of Daily Experiences, the authors examined racial differences in exposure and reactivity to daily stressors involving family members. Respondents included African American and European American adults age 34 to 84 (N = 1,931) who participated in 8 days of daily interviews during which they reported on daily stressors, affect, and physical health symptoms. The results revealed racial similarities in family stress…
Time Use and Well-Being in Older Widows
Research on widowhood mostly emphasizes negative outcomes, but some studies suggest widows are resilient. This study evaluated the in-depth daily experiences of older widows compared to married women. Participants included 75 widows and 125 married women from the National Study of Daily Experiences II, who completed daily diaries over 8 days. For long-term widows, there were no differences compared to married women in daily and general well-being…
Age Differences in Exposure and Reactivity to Interpersonal Tensions among Black and White Individuals across Adulthood
Generational Differences in Gender Attitudes Between Parents and Grown Offspring
Ambivalent Reactions in the Parent and Offspring Relationship
Theory suggests that aging parents and their adult children experience ambivalence (conflicting emotions) as a result of unclear norms governing the tie between them. This study investigated personality differences and relationship context differences in ambivalence, as well as the reactions of parents and offspring to each other. As part of the Adult Family Study, 474 individuals from 158 family triads consisting of a mother, father, and son or …
