We use National Survey of Families and Households first wave data and innovative modeling to examine how one parent-adult child pair may affect other pairs. Three conceptual models guide our analyses of parents' giving and receiving of socioemotional support, representing enhancement, compensation, and independence. Giving support to one child is related to more giving to others (enhancement), but receiving support from one child is related to less receipt from others (compensation). Cross-sibling interactions do not reveal significant effects of distance of one child on exchanges with others, nor of gender or stepchild status of adult children. Cross-sibling interactions differ by race, suggesting enhancement in receiving support among Blacks and enhancement in giving support among non-Blacks. These analyses demonstrate the value of examining how parent-adult child ties are influenced by each other and by their family context.
我们使用全国家庭与住户调查的首波数据以及创新模型,来研究一对父母与成年子女之间的关系会如何影响其他父母与成年子女对之间的关系。三个概念模型指导我们对父母给予和接受社会情感支持的分析,分别代表强化、补偿和独立。对一个孩子给予支持与对其他孩子更多的给予有关(强化),但从一个孩子那里获得支持与从其他孩子那里获得的支持减少有关(补偿)。兄弟姐妹间的互动并未显示出一个孩子与他人交流的距离、成年子女的性别或继子女身份有显著影响。兄弟姐妹间的互动因种族而异,这表明黑人在接受支持方面有所强化,而非黑人在给予支持方面有所强化。这些分析证明了研究父母与成年子女关系如何相互影响以及受其家庭环境影响的价值。
