对1570名65岁及以上的白人、非裔美国人和拉丁裔纽约人的代表性样本进行了研究，考察了种族在亲属网络构成和代际交流中的重要性。目前的研究结果与之前的研究“纽约内城的老年人”(坎托，1978)进行了比较。目前，老年人拥有最广泛的网络，尽管ULE分布最广。拉美裔老年人的关系网狭窄，以家庭为中心，大多数亲属住在附近，老年非裔美国人的关系网与拉丁裔和白人的关系网居中，包容性较低，但有许多亲属住在附近。年长的父母与子女之间的援助受到种族的影响，但在收入水平和工作能力方面的需要以及性别成为更重要的因素。目前的研究证实了1970年的预测：虽然弹性仍然很重要，但它只是非正式网络性质的一个指标。
The importance of ethnicity in the composition of kin networks and inter-generational exchanges was examined using a representative sample of 1570 White, African-American, and Latino New Yorkers aged 65 and older. Current findings were compared with the previous study, "The Elderly in the Inner City of New York" (Cantor, 1978). Currently, While elderly had the most inclu- sive networks, although Ule most widely dispersed. Latino elderly had narrow, family-centered networks wifh most kin living nearby, The networks of older African-Americans were intermediate to those of Latinos and Whites, being less inclusive but with many kin living nearby. Assistance between older parents and their children was moderated by ethnicity, but need, in terms of income level and funclional ability, and gender emerged as more overriding factors. The current study bore out predictions made in 1970: while elhnicity is still important, it is only one indicator of the nature of informal networks.
