Attachment through the Life Span
Dyadic bonds and adult linkages are examined as examples of adult attachments which are frequently manifested through the relationships among adult children and their aging parents. A pilot study supported the hypothesis that family bonds, both in dyadic affect and in family integration, override separation and distance. This study also supported the need for a reintroduction of extended family variables into the study of dyadic and group relatio…
Family Structure and the Timing of Transitions from 70 to 103 Years of Age
Using a cross-sectional analysis of 250 White [U.S.] individuals 70-103 years of age this article questions whether a vertical family structure is found with increasing age. Findings indicate first that at least until age 90 the proportion of individuals with a vertical family structure with four generations never exceeds the numbers of those with no descendants. Second widowhood and relocation are occurring among those in their seventies some ye…

Expected Life History
Family Life in Middle and Old Age
Until recently, social scientists have paid more attention to parent-child relations at the early end of the age continuum: young children and their young-adult parents. Many of the same issues and approaches can be applied to the parallel study of parent-child relations at the later end of the age continuum, adults and their parents, and people in early old age and their parents. Generation gaps may be of the same order of magnitude, whether thi…
A Developmental Exploration of Friendship Functions in Women
Interpersonal attachments in adulthood were explored through the investigation of the friendship functions in 172 women from 14 through 80. A priori functions were rated by the respondents on a Likert-Scale for their five best friends. Factor analyses revealed three orthogonal factors which characterized friendship for all age groups, “intimacy-assistance,” “status,” and “power.” One way analyses of variance (function by age groups) found no sign…
"How Old Are You?"-The Question of Age Bias in the Counseling of Adults
Attention is called to the probability that counselors and psychotherapists share the age stereotypes of other Americans. These definitions of appropriate behavior vary somewhat by age and sex of people under consideration and perhaps by age, sex, and other characteristics of those who are stereotyping. Three kinds of age bias are noted: age restrictiveness, age distortion, and negative attitudes associated with particular ages
Youth in Two Worlds
Is Parent-Child Conflict What We Mean by the Generation Gap
A few years ago, we reported some findings on similarities in values and other personality characteristics between college students and their middle-aged parents. (Troll, Neugarten, and Kraines, 1969) On the basis of those data, and the findings of others since (Bengtson, 1970; Thomas, 1971; Haan, 1971), it appears that we need to be more cautious in generalizing about a generation gap than we originally were. There was more similarity in basic v…
The Family of Later Life
The “Generation Gap” in Later Life
Transmission of values from one to the next is of vital con cern to a society that feels itself in the midst of particularly rapid social change. Consequently, there has been widespread discussion of generational differences, mainly under the rubric of the generation gap. Most of this discussion has dealt with the earlier end of the life cycle, with the generational boundary at the onset of adulthood. The present paper focuses instead on the seco…
