Using data from the second wave of the National Survey of Families and Households, the authors examine the determinants of frequent and infrequent visiting between grandparents and their grandchild sets. A grandchild set consists of all the children of a particular child of the grandparent, provided that the grandchildren reside in their parent's household. The 6 significant predictors of frequent or infrequent contact are geographic distance, quality of relationship between grandparent and parent of the grandchild set, number of grandchild sets, gender of grandparent, lineage of the grandchild set, and marital status of the grandparent.
作者利用全国家庭与住户第二次调查的数据，研究了祖父母与孙辈之间频繁和不频繁探访的决定因素。一个孙辈群体由祖父母某个子女的所有孩子组成，前提是这些孙辈居住在其父母家中。频繁或不频繁联系的6个显著预测因素是地理距离、祖父母与孙辈群体中父母之间的关系质量、孙辈群体数量、祖父母性别、孙辈群体的谱系以及祖父母的婚姻状况。
