摘要

本研究调查了美国各地的孙辈和祖父母对 COVID-19 大流行对隔代家庭联系的影响以及主观幸福感之间的关联。在沃尔什的家庭复原力模型指导下，这项融合混合方法研究利用了无亲属关系的青少年孙辈（n = 66）和祖父母（n = 40）的调查反馈。相关分析表明，COVID-19 对隔代家庭关系的影响与孙辈（而非祖辈）的主观幸福感之间存在显著关联。定性分析结果表明，家庭复原力所必需的沟通、组织和信念系统过程既有崩溃，也有增强。这些发现共同表明，COVID-19 对隔代家庭关系的影响是复杂的，年轻一代和年长一代家庭成员之间的联系同时受到加强和削弱。这项研究加深了我们对实际分离情况下代际家庭联系的理解，随着 COVID-19 对个人、家庭系统和家庭成员之间关系的影响--以及更广泛的代际地理分离--的不断发展，我们可以做出更明智的决定。

Intergenerational connections: Skipped generation family contact during the COVID‐19 pandemic

This study investigates the association between the perceived impact of the COVID‐19 pandemic on skipped generation familial connections and subjective well‐being among grandchildren and grandparents across the United States. Guided by Walsh's family resilience model, this convergent mixed methods study drew on the survey responses of unrelated adolescent and young adult grandchildren (n = 66) and grandparents (n = 40). Correlational analyses revealed a significant association between perceived impact of COVID‐19 on one's skipped generation family relationships and subjective well‐being for grandchildren but not grandparents. The qualitative results demonstrate both a breakdown and build‐up of processes essential for family resilience: communication, organization, and belief systems. Together, these findings demonstrate the effects of COVID‐19 on skipped generation family relationships are complex, with ties between family members in younger and older generations being simultaneously strengthened and eroded. This study builds on our understanding of intergenerational familial contact when physical separation is present, allowing for more informed decisions as the effects of COVID‐19 on individuals, family systems, and relationships between family members—as well as geographic separation between generations more broadly—continue to evolve.
