一个模型分离和相关维度的代际团结与心理困扰的措施进行了调查，为老年墨西哥裔美国人。团结包括相似性、感情和联系。心理困扰的测量包括躯体/智力迟钝症状、抑郁情绪和积极情绪。为了评估与特定孩子的情感亲密是否会改变这种联系，根据老年参与者是否报告代际研究中包括的孩子是她或他最亲密的孩子，对模型进行了单独分析。研究结果表明，情感和联想的影响是一个特定维度的痛苦和孩子的情感亲密的功能。尽管所提出的模式需要扩展，但它为家庭团结对老年墨西哥裔美国人有重要影响的预期提供了一些支持
A model separating and relating dimensions of intergenerational solidarity with measures of psychological distress was investigated for older Mexican Americans. Solidarity consisted of measures of similarity, affection, and association. Measures of psychological distress were somatic/retarded symptoms, depressed affect, and positive affect. To evaluate whether emotional closeness with a particular child modified the linkages, the model was analyzed separately based on whether or not the elderly participant reported that the child included in the intergenerational study was her or his closest child. The findings indicated that the impact of affection and association was a function of the particular dimension of distress and the emotional closeness of the child. Although the proposed model needs expanding, it provides some support for the expectation that family solidarity has important consequences for elderly Mexican Americans
