The purpose of this study was to specify older adolescents' perceptions of relationships with maternal and paternal grandmothers and grandfathers. Late adolescent college students (n = 142) indicated their relationship perceptions of each available biological grandparent on Furman and Buhrmester's Network of Relationships Inventory. Grandparents were not viewed as major targets of intimacy nor were they reported to be the bearers of instrumental aid. However, grandparents, regardless of kinship status, were still rated as important attachment figures to these older adolescents. In general, granddaughters reported better relationships than grandsons, and grandchildren reported more optimal relations with grandmothers. Implications for future research efforts are discussed.
本研究的目的是明确年龄较大的青少年对与外祖母、外祖父、祖母和祖父关系的看法。接近成年的大学生（n = 142）在弗曼和布尔梅斯特的人际关系网络量表上表明了他们对每位在世亲代祖父母关系的看法。祖父母不被视为亲密关系的主要对象，也没有人报告他们是工具性帮助的提供者。然而，无论亲属关系如何，祖父母仍然被这些年龄较大的青少年评为重要的依恋对象。总体而言，孙女报告的关系比孙子更好，孙辈报告与祖母的关系更融洽。文中讨论了对未来研究工作的启示。
