Grounded in Affection Exchange Theory's assumptions that affectionate communication fosters relational benefits and increases people's likelihood of survival, this study sought to examine young adult grandchildren's willingness to serve as their grandparents' caregivers as a function of received affection from their grandparents. Young adult grandchildren ( N = 209) independently completed a questionnaire in reference to a specific, biological grandparent. The results of a multiple regression analysis revealed partial support for the hypothesized positive relationships between grandchildren's received affection from their grandparents and the grandchildren's willingness to care for their grandparents. These findings are indicative of both practical and theoretical implications
