Abstract

The present study relied on 15 dyads of adult children and their older parent to better understand intergenerational family relations from a life course perspective. Interviews were analyzed relying on qualitative thematic analysis, identifying similarities and differences within and between interviews and dyads. Our analysis resulted in three major themes. The first concerns the important role of intergenerational family relation as a means to define and conceptualize the experiences of loneliness and ways of coping with loneliness. The second theme concerned intergenerational relations as a cause (and at times a remedy) of loneliness. The third theme concerns the ability of the dyad's members to reflect on the level of loneliness of the other member in the intergenerational dyad. The findings stress the importance of intergenerational family relations throughout the life course and highlight the importance of adopting an intergenerational lens as a possible means to address loneliness.

《人生历程》,代际视角下的孤独。
目前的研究依赖于15对成年子女和他们年长的父母,以便从生命历程的角度更好地理解代际家庭关系。访谈的分析依赖于定性的主题分析,识别访谈内部和访谈之间的异同。我们的分析得出了三个主要主题。第一部分关注代际家庭关系作为定义和概念化孤独体验和应对孤独方式的手段的重要作用。第二个主题是关于代际关系作为孤独的原因(有时也是一种补救措施)。第三个主题是关于在代际二分体中,二分体成员对另一成员的孤独程度的反映能力。研究结果强调了代际家庭关系在整个生命过程中的重要性,并强调了采用代际视角作为解决孤独的可能手段的重要性。

期刊介绍: These are some of the broad questions with which the International Journal of Aging and Human Development is concerned. Emphasis is upon psychological and social studies of aging and the aged. However, the Journal also publishes research that introduces observations from other fields that illuminate the "human" side of gerontology, or utilizes gerontological observations to illuminate in other fields.
