While studies have considered the importance of the grandparent and grandchild relationship from the perspective of the former, the present study explores the perspective of young adult grandchildren concerning this relationship. Four relationship variables are examined: 1) the amount of contact; b) the assessed adequacy of contact; 3) the importance of the relationship; and 4) the role conception. The results of this study support the position that grandparents remain a significant factor in the lives of young adults.
虽然已有研究从祖父母的角度探讨了祖孙关系的重要性，但本研究从成年孙辈的视角对这种关系进行了探究。研究考察了四个关系变量：1）接触的频率；2）对接触充分性的评估；3）关系的重要性；4）角色认知。本研究结果支持以下观点：祖父母仍是年轻人生活中的一个重要因素。
