Research on families dealing with mental illness has considered either positive or negative aspects of intergenerational family relationships. The current study extends this work by using intergenerational ambivalence theory to examine aging mothers' contradictory expectations toward adult daughters who are mentally ill. This study focuses on interviews obtained from a sample of 22 mothers aged 52-90 who expressed considerable sociological ambivalence in relation to their grown daughters. Four strategies of managing ambivalence are identified: excusing behaviors, reducing expectations, adjusting help-giving, and confronting. The implications are that practitioners should be aware of intergenerational ambivalence, help aging parents identify their ambivalence management strategies, and assess the extent to which these strategies are adaptive. Future research directions in this area are also discussed.
对患有精神疾病家庭的研究，要么关注代际家庭关系的积极方面，要么关注消极方面。本研究通过运用代际矛盾理论，对患有精神疾病成年女儿的年迈母亲的矛盾期望进行审视，从而拓展了这一研究领域。本研究聚焦于对22位年龄在52至90岁之间母亲的访谈，这些母亲在与成年女儿的关系中表现出相当程度的社会学意义上的矛盾情绪。研究确定了四种处理矛盾情绪的策略：为行为辩解、降低期望、调整给予帮助的方式以及直面矛盾。这意味着从业者应意识到代际矛盾，帮助年迈的父母识别他们处理矛盾的策略，并评估这些策略的适应程度。此外，还讨论了该领域未来的研究方向。
