Role expectations and role realities were examined in a sample of ninety pairs of Italian-American, singled, older women and their daughters. The quality of the relationships between the mothers and daughters was defined by the participants as quite high. The results showed high consensus for the expectations and realities of the role responsibilities of parents and children. A greater number of specific resources were expected and received of daughters. Mothers showed more role confusion regarding what they felt children should expect and what they themselves could provide. There was some indication that daughters may desire less advice and more emotional support from their mothers.
在一个由90对意大利裔美国单身老年女性及其女儿组成的样本中，研究了角色期望和角色现实。母亲和女儿之间关系的质量被参与者定义为相当高。结果表明，对于父母和子女角色责任的期望和现实存在高度共识。女儿们被期望并得到了更多的具体资源。母亲们在孩子应该期望什么以及她们自己能够提供什么方面表现出更多的角色困惑。有迹象表明，女儿们可能希望从母亲那里得到更少的建议和更多的情感支持。
