家庭网络的三个特征（即，居住邻近度、家庭感情和家庭联系）在全国范围内的老年黑人样本中进行了检查。总的来说，调查结果表明，黑人老年人与他们的大家庭之间存在高度的互动和强烈的情感联系。虽然年龄最大的受访者不太可能住在直系亲属和其他亲戚附近，但在接触和情感亲密程度方面没有年龄差异。有一个成年的孩子和亲戚的接近促进了情感和社会融合的老年黑人成年人在家庭网络。
The correlates of three characteristics of familial networks (i.e., residential proximity, family affection, and family contact) were examined among a national sample of older Black Americans. Overall, the findings indicated high levels of interaction and strong emotional bonds between older Black adults and their extended families. While the oldest respondents were less likely to reside near immediate family and other relatives, there were no age differences in levels of contact and emotional closeness. Having an adult child and proximity of relatives facilitated the emotional and social integration of older Black adults in family networks.
