代际支持是使用来自全国家庭和住户调查的数据进行分析的。作者发现证据表明，一个系统的代际交换的潜在结构特征的给予和接受的支持。总的来说，一半的美国人不经常与父母保持给予或接受的关系，只有十分之一的人处于广泛的交换关系中。父母在健康状况不佳的情况下得到的援助更多，在有年幼子女的情况下得到的援助更多。在需要时提供的援助不是统一的，很少是广泛的。代际援助受到家庭结构以及每一代人的需要和资源的限制。非裔美国人参与代际援助的可能性一直低于白人。在每一代人中，男性得到的无私支持与女性一样多；美国妇女给予和接受援助的水平较高，是因为她们更多地参与交换。
Intergenerational support is analyzed using data from the National Survey of Families and Households. The authors find evidence that a systematic latent structure of intergenerational exchange characterizes the giving and receiving of support. Overall, one-half of Americans do not routinely engage in giving or receiving relationships with their parents and only about one in 10 are engaged in extensive exchange relationships. Parents are assisted more often in situations of poor health, and more often receive assistance when they have young children. Assistance in time of need is not uniform and is rarely extensive. Intergenerational assistance is constrained by family structure and the needs and resources of each generation. African-Americans are consistently less likely than whites to be involved in intergenerational assistance. In each generation, men receive as much altruistic support as women; higher levels of giving and receiving of aid among American women are due to their greater involvement in exchange.
