This study explored various dimensions of generational relationships between older parents and their adult children using the second wave of SHARE (Survey of Health, Ageing and Retirement in Europe), comparing it to Dykstra's and Fokkema's (2011) analyses of the first wave. Results were further compared to the OASIS study (Old Age and Autonomy: The Role of Service Systems and Intergenerational Solidarity). The intergenerational solidarity model served as the main conceptual framework. Analyses yielded four family relationship types present in all countries, albeit with different frequencies. Around half of the respondents in the 11 countries were identified with close ties and flow of support. Four conclusions were drawn: (1) importance of personal resources; (2) cultural differences and meanings for families; (3) highlighting within-country difference; and (4) strength of intergenerational solidarity. The importance of understanding generational relationships in the current era with higher longevity and changing family structures is emphasized and explicated.
本研究利用欧洲健康、老龄化与退休调查（SHARE）的第二轮数据，探讨了老年父母与其成年子女之间代际关系的各个维度，并将其与戴克斯特拉和福克马（2011年）对第一轮数据的分析进行了比较。研究结果进一步与老年与自主性研究（OASIS：服务系统与代际团结的作用）进行了对比。代际团结模型作为主要的概念框架。分析得出了所有国家都存在的四种家庭关系类型，尽管出现的频率有所不同。11个国家中约一半的受访者被认定为关系密切且支持往来频繁。研究得出了四个结论：（1）个人资源的重要性；（2）家庭的文化差异及意义；（3）突出国家内部差异；（4）代际团结的力量。研究强调并阐述了在当前寿命延长和家庭结构变化的时代理解代际关系的重要性。
