Resumo
This study examined grandchildren's relational and communicative responses to grandparents' painful self-disclosures (PSDs). From the perspective of young adult grandchildren ( N = 297), discomfort with PSDs is more significant in differentiating positive and negative aspects of the grandparent—grandchild relationship than simply the occurrence of such disclosures. Furthermore, results reveal that the family communication environment and communicative responsiveness of the grandchild are important factors in predicting discomfort with PSDs as well as grandchildren's communication with grandparents.
