Needs and Issues of Latino and Native American Nonparental Relative Caregivers
While custodial grandparenting historically has been more prevalent among African Americans, kinship care is increasing nationally among all culturally diverse groups. Custodial grandparenting and kinship care are becoming more common among Latino and Native American cultures. However, there are few studies examining needs and issues faced by these relative caregivers, particularly grandparents. In‐depth interviews were conducted with Latino and …
Differences in Resources Provided by Grandparents in Single and Married Parent Families
Relationship quality, social contact, and support provided by grandparents to single and married parents were examined using data from the National Survey of Families and Households (NSFH). Contributions from the respondents' own parents, parents-in-law, and step-parents were examined using ANOVA and chi-square analyses. In general, respondents reported stronger ties with parents than in-laws, and with female rather than male relatives. Custodial…

Differences among custodial mothers and fathers were evaluated, followed by a series of hierarchical regressions that were used to evaluate factors contributing to negative and positive outcomes for the two groups. Compared to custodial fathers, custodial mothers were sig…

The present study examined the degree to which older adults were represented in articles in the Journal of Counseling Psychology and The Counseling Psychologist from 1991 to 2000. Several issues were examined: age-based characteristics of samples reported, changes in the…
