The performance of Black grandparents was examined to determine the most suitable content for an educational program intended to assist them in their role. A sample of 626 non-consanguineous subjects included 204 grandparents, 128 parents, and 294 grandchildren. Each generation group completed a separate version of the Grandparent Strengths and Needs Inventory to identify the favorable qualities of grandparents and aspects of their relationships in which further growth was necessary. A combination of multivariate analysis of variance procedures, univariate analysis of variance tests, and t-tests were used to analyze scores, confirm results, and assist with interpretation of data. All groups described aspects of grandparents success and made known specific realms of learning that grandparents should acquire in order to become more effective. Analysis of the responses revealed significant main effects for generation, gender of grandchild, age of grandchild, and amount of time that grandparent and grandchild spent together. Considerations were identified for improving grandparent influence and guiding the development of grandparent education programs.
对黑人祖父母的表现进行了调查，以确定旨在帮助他们发挥作用的教育项目最合适的内容。626名非血缘关系受试者的样本包括204名祖父母、128名父母和294名孙辈。每个代际组都完成了一份单独版本的《祖父母优势与需求量表》，以确定祖父母的有利品质以及他们关系中需要进一步发展的方面。使用多变量方差分析程序、单变量方差分析测试和t检验相结合的方法来分析分数、确认结果并协助解释数据。所有组都描述了祖父母成功的方面，并指出了祖父母为了变得更有效应掌握的具体学习领域。对回答的分析揭示了代际、孙辈性别、孙辈年龄以及祖父母与孙辈相处时间长短的显著主效应。确定了提高祖父母影响力和指导祖父母教育项目发展的考量因素。
