Factors that influence family helping behavior are examined and comparisons are made between black and white families. The question of whether family differences are due to culture or socioeconomic reasons is asked. In the analysis, tests are made for the main and interactive effects of race. Black elderly parents give and receive more help than white elderly parents after controlling for age and sex; however the greater amount of help that is received by older blacks is, to a large extent, the result of socioeconomic factors. The increased amount of help that they give to the middle and younger generations appears to be a combination of cultural and socioeconomic factors. Among black families, attitudes of respect for each generation play a part in determining family support behavior.
研究了影响家庭帮助行为的因素，并对黑人和白人家庭进行了比较。探讨了家庭差异是由文化还是社会经济原因导致的问题。在分析中，对种族的主要和交互作用进行了检验。在控制年龄和性别后，黑人老年父母给予和接受的帮助比白人老年父母更多；然而，老年黑人获得的更多帮助在很大程度上是社会经济因素的结果。他们给予中年和年轻一代的帮助增加似乎是文化和社会经济因素共同作用的结果。在黑人家庭中，对每一代人的尊重态度在决定家庭支持行为方面起到了一定作用。
