Data were collected from 252 coresident caregiving daughters and daughters-in-law and their husbands. We hypothesized that biological children would give more care than children-in-law and that children-in-law would have very different caregiving experiences and resultant appraisals than biological children. Contrary to our hypotheses, we found that the experiences are very similar for biological children and children-in-law in caregiving families. We suggested that the important factor is not the relationship to the elder that has the impact--it is the quality of the relationship with the elder that is consistently significant.
数据收集自252名共同居住的照料女儿和儿媳及其丈夫。我们假设亲生孩子会比儿媳或女婿提供更多照料，并且儿媳或女婿的照料经历及由此产生的评价会与亲生孩子有很大不同。与我们的假设相反，我们发现在照料家庭中，亲生孩子和儿媳或女婿的经历非常相似。我们认为重要的因素不是与老人的亲属关系产生影响，而是与老人关系的质量始终具有重要意义。
