祖父母在孙子孙女的生活中扮演着不同的角色。以前的工作主要集中在祖父母同居的历史趋势和影响上，没有更广泛地考虑祖父母和孙辈如何互动。利用1997年至2007年收入动态儿童发展调查小组研究的6762个人年的时间使用日记数据，作者分析了美国儿童与祖父母在一起的时间数量和活动构成的模式，按家庭结构、成人就业和儿童年龄进行区分。结果显示，虽然只有大约7%的孩子和祖父母住在一起，但更多的孩子和他们的祖父母在一起：大约50%的幼儿，35%的小学儿童和20%的青少年在典型的一周里至少和他们的祖父母呆在一起。这表明，祖父母在孙子孙女的生活中扮演着不同的角色，这取决于需要的支持的数量和种类。
Grandparents play varied roles in their grandchildren's lives. Prior work has focused mostly on historical trends in and implications of grandparent coresidence and has not considered more broadly how grandparents and grandchildren interact. Using time-use diary data for 6,762 person-years from the 1997 to 2007 waves of the Panel Study of Income Dynamics Child Development Survey, the authors examine patterns in the amount and activity composition of time American children spent with their grandparents, differentiated by family structure, adult employment, and child's age. Results showed that although only about 7% of children lived with their grandparents, many more children spent time with their grandparents: about 50% of young children, 35% of elementary-age children, and 20% of teens spent at least some time with their grandparents in a typical week. This suggests that grandparents play a variety of roles in their grandchildren's lives, depending on the amount and kinds of support needed.
