Drawing on data from Waves 2 and 3 of the National Survey of Families and Households, this study examines whether grandchildren's (N = 496) previous patterns of closeness to grandparents is associated with their current closeness to grandparents and whether changes in parents' intergenerational ties make a difference in the development of grandchildren's closeness to grandparents when grandchildren experience young adulthood. The findings suggest that there is a possibility for both continuity and change in grandchildren's bond to grandparents. Grandchildren's closeness to grandparents was associated not only with their earlier patterns of closeness to grandparents and with parents' concurrent relations with the grandchild and grandparent generations, but also with changes in parents' intergenerational ties over time. Also, the grandchild gender moderated linkages between certain intergenerational ties in the family.
本研究利用全国家庭与住户调查第2波和第3波的数据,考察孙辈(N = 496)之前与祖父母的亲密模式是否与他们当前与祖父母的亲密程度相关,以及当孙辈进入青年期时,父母代际关系的变化是否会对孙辈与祖父母亲密关系的发展产生影响。研究结果表明,孙辈与祖父母的关系既有可能保持连续性,也有可能发生变化。孙辈与祖父母的亲密程度不仅与他们早期与祖父母的亲密模式、父母与孙辈及祖父母代的同时期关系有关,还与父母代际关系随时间的变化有关。此外,孙辈性别调节了家庭中某些代际关系之间的联系。
