Using causal modeling, this study of 71 adult daughter caregivers of elderly parents examines direct and indirect relationships between two caregiver induction factors. caregiver reason for selection into the role and level of willingness to assume the role. The influence of caregiver reason for selection on level of willingness and post-induction caregiver strain is explored using structural equation modeling. Reults suggest caregivers who perceive no other alternative for care are less willing to provide care. When caregivcrs perceive no alternative to care, they report decreased levels of willingness and increased strain. Implications for practice and future research are presented
