目标。这项研究确定了认为自己的角色有效的祖父母，以及这种信念对实际参与青春期孙子的影响。方法。 883 名祖父母的样本来自两项针对农村家庭的相关研究，即爱荷华州青年和家庭项目和爱荷华州单亲项目。我们的研究问题通过测试一系列二元和多元回归模型得到回答。结果。结果显示，人们对影响孙子的能力的看法存在很大差异。参加教堂的次数、对自己祖父母的了解、农场历史、祖父母与父母之间的亲密关系以及孙辈数量较少，这些都是祖父母对效率的看法的重要预测因素。具有强烈自我效能信念的祖父母在孙辈的生活中发挥着积极的作用。讨论。随着越来越多的祖父母承担起照顾孙辈的责任，对能够增强他们在这一角色中的个人效能感的经验和资源的更深入的了解需要在代际研究中得到优先考虑。
Objectives. This study identifies grandparents who feel efficacious in their role and the consequences of such beliefs for actual involvement with an adolescent grandchild.Methods. The sample of 883 grandparents comes from two related studies of rural families, the Iowa Youth and Families Project and the Iowa Single Parent Project. Our research questions are answered by testing a series of bivariate and multivariate regression models.Results. Results show much variability in perceptions of being able to influence one's grandchild. Church attendance, knowledge of one's own grandparents, a farm history, a strong grandparent-parent bond proximity, and having fewer grandchildren emerged as significant predictors of grandparents' perceptions of efficacy. Grandparents with strong self-efficacious beliefs play an active role in the lives of their grandchildren.Discussion. With an increasing number of grandparents taking responsibilities for their grandchildren, a greater understanding of the experiences and resources that enhance their sense of personal efficacy in this role warrants priority in generational studies.
