从1988年和1992年的全国家庭和住户调查中抽取了50岁以上的父母样本，用于检验两个问题：成年子女在需要时的支持反应如何？对于那些期望孩子们提供帮助的人来说，孩子们的支持是否更大？在两次调查之间经历一次或多次转变的父母可能会从他们的成年子女那里得到比以前的交流模式更多的帮助。然而，儿童的回应似乎与父母的期望无关，无论是关于儿童应该做些什么来支持父母的一般价值取向，还是在假设的情况下期望自己的孩子提供帮助，都与儿童对父母需求的回应无关。结果与代际关系的偶然交换观点一致。
A sample of parents (aged 50+) drawn from the 1988 and 1992 waves of the National Survey of Families and Households was used to examine two questions: How responsive is support from adult children in times of need? Is support from children greater for those who expected their children to provide help? Parents who experience one or more transitions in the time between survey waves are likely to receive help from their adult children over and above previous exchange patterns. Responsiveness on the part of children does nor appear to be linked with parental expectations, however Neither general value orientations about what children should do to support parents, nor expectations of help from one's own children in hypothetical situations are related to children's responsiveness to parental needs. Results are consistent with a contingent exchange perspective on intergenerational relationships.
