摘要

虽然有充分的证据表明,孙辈从与祖父母的牢固、积极的关系中受益,但随着个人在成年早期建立生活,人们对这些关系的影响知之甚少。此外,尽管祖父母抚养的年轻人越来越多,至少部分是由祖父母抚养的,但这种影响如何因祖父母类型而变化(即祖父母是扮演“传统”的非照顾角色还是“监护”的照顾角色)尚未得到调查。本研究采用解释性顺序混合方法设计,探讨了童年时期祖父母类型对成年早期生活满意度、感知关系质量和生活构建的影响。定量链(N = 94)告知在强调的定性链中完成半结构化访谈的子样本(N = 9) 。综合研究结果显示,过去和现在的祖父母关系在成年早期仍然很突出,尽管这些关系的背景和实质往往随着时间和个体的变化而变化。尽管背景很重要,但我们没有观察到祖父母类型在生活满意度或感知关系质量方面的显著差异。总之,研究结果表明,这种关系的实质,而不是结构,可能会对个人在成年早期建立自己的生活和反思自己的价值观产生影响。除了阐明需要继续探索的领域外,这项工作还强调了研究人员和从业者在设计研究和开发支持以加强积极、互利的祖孙关系时,需要考虑家庭结构的变化。

How Grandparents Inform Our Lives: A Mixed Methods Investigation of Intergenerational Influence on Young Adults.

How Grandparents Inform Our Lives: A Mixed Methods Investigation of Intergenerational Influence on Young Adults.

While it is well documented that grandchildren benefit from strong, positive relationships with grandparents, less is known about the influence of these relationships as individuals establish their lives in early adulthood. Further, how this impact varies based on grandparent type (i.e., whether grandparents take on a "traditional" non-caregiving or "custodial" caregiving role) has not been investigated, despite the growing number of youth raised, at least in part, by their grandparents. Using an explanatory sequential mixed methods design, this study explores the influence of grandparent type during childhood on life satisfaction, perceived relationship quality, and life building in early adulthood. Descriptive and comparative analyses of survey data captured in the quantitative strand (N = 94) informed the subsample that completed semi-structured interviews in the emphasized qualitative strand (N = 9). The integrated findings revealed that past and present grandparent relationships remain salient in early adulthood, though the context and substance of these relationships is often nuanced with shifts over time and across individuals. Despite the importance of context, we failed to observe significant differences in life satisfaction or perceived relationship quality by grandparent type. Taken together, the findings suggest the substance of the relationship, more so than the structure, may be impactful for individuals building their life and reflecting on their values in early adulthood. In addition to elucidating areas for continued exploration, this work highlights the need for researchers and practitioners to consider variation in family structure when designing research and developing supports to reinforce positive, mutually beneficial grandparent-grandchild relationships.

期刊介绍: The Journal of Adult Development is an interdisciplinary journal covering development in early adulthood, midlife, and later adulthood. The Journal supports innovative theoretical and empirical articles that help direct the future of our field. Critical issues include the importance of life-long education, work and family changes, and physical and mental health influencing adult development. In addition, the impact of personality, emotions, cognition, and biomarkers are areas of interest. The Journal of Adult Development emphasizes the importance of interindividual differences and contextual issues influencing adult development. Interventions that promote optimal development throughout the adult life span are also welcome.
