Abstract
Grounded in communication accommodation theory, this study examined the association between middle-aged children's perceptions of receiving accommodation from their parent and children's intentions to provide instrumental care for the parent. Children's communication satisfaction was also tested as a mediator of this association. Perceptions of receiving accommodation were directly and positively associated with caregiving intentions. Although perceptions of receiving accommodation were also positively associated with communication satisfaction, communication satisfaction did not mediate the association between perceived accommodation and instrumental caregiving intentions. Findings are discussed with respect to how they advance the mediating mechanism phase of communication accommodation theory.
期刊介绍：
Language Sciences is a forum for debate, conducted so as to be of interest to the widest possible audience, on conceptual and theoretical issues in the various branches of general linguistics. The journal is also concerned with bringing to linguists attention current thinking about language within disciplines other than linguistics itself; relevant contributions from anthropologists, philosophers, psychologists and sociologists, among others, will be warmly received. In addition, the Editor is particularly keen to encourage the submission of essays on topics in the history and philosophy of language studies, and review articles discussing the import of significant recent works on language and linguistics.
