From data of 400 five-generation families living in the Federal Republic of Germany different ways of interaction between the generations are demonstrated. These data point to a very high degree of integration of the very old family members and reject the thesis of a more or less disintegration of the older generation. The interaction between the 5th and the 4th generation is closer than these between the 5th and and the 3rd or 2nd generation; this may be explained by the different cohort-specific socialization-histories and by factors of secular change.
从居住在德意志联邦共和国的400个五代同堂家庭的数据中可以看出代际之间不同的互动方式。这些数据表明高龄家庭成员的融入程度非常高，同时也反驳了老一辈或多或少走向解体的观点。第五代与第四代之间的互动比第五代与第三代或第二代之间的互动更为密切；这可能是由不同队列特定的社会化历史以及长期变化因素所解释的。
