Older Generations of the Family: Relational Dimensions and Quality.

Quinn, William H.; Keller, James F.

American Journal of Family Therapy, v11 n3 p23-34 Fall 1983

Studied qualitative dimensions believed to affect intergenerational family relationships, surveying older parents (N=170) and adult children (N=145). Results indicated that qualitative dimensions are associated with one another and that affection and communication greatly determine the quality of relationship for both generations. Filial responsibility was significant for the younger generation. (WAS)
