项目摘要

This project will study kinship relationships longitudinally as they undergo reorganization following divorce and remarriage. The over-all objective is to determine how these changes in the American family system affect the social integration, health and well-being of the grandparent generation. To examine these effects, the study will focus on three levels of analysis of interviews with both grandparents and their divorcing children: 1) intergenerational relationships as they vary in intimacy/distance, conflict/harmony, and independence/dependence; 2) the kinship network as it expands or contracts with divorce and remarrriage; and 3) cultural definitions or the norms and rules which govern these relationships. The degree of value congruence between generations will also be examined as it is associated with the grandparents' integration into their children's families. Variables of age, timing of grandparenthood, the kinship linkage, and competing commitments will also be associated with the status of grandparents. The study group comes from ongoing research, so changes in kinship can be studied over time. The respondents include 59 grandmothers of which 50 had children also interviewed. The sample is stratified by age of the grandparent generation (under 65 years and 65 and older) and the kinship linkage (maternal or paternal). It is confined to white, middle-class families selected from public divorce records. The methods will combine ethnographic, descriptive techniques with objective measures of social variables, functional status and mood. To augment the findings of survey research, descriptive data will be content analyzed to illuminate how the processes of reorganization affect the status of the grandparent generation. Objective measures of contact, reciprocity, functional status and mood will be repeated to determine their associations with changing social relationships.

该项目将纵向研究亲属关系离婚和再婚后进行重组。总体来说目标是确定美国家庭制度的这些变化如何影响祖父母的社会融合、健康和福祉一代。为了检验这些影响，研究将集中在三个层面对祖父母及其离婚的访谈分析儿童：1）代际关系各不相同亲密/距离、冲突/和谐、独立/依赖； 2）亲属关系网络随着离婚和再婚而扩大或缩小； 3) 文化定义或管理这些的规范和规则关系。代际价值的一致程度也需要进行检查，因为它与祖父母的融合有关进入他们孩子的家庭。年龄变量、发生时间祖父母身份、亲属关系和相互竞争的承诺也将与祖父母的地位有关。该研究小组来自正在进行的研究，因此亲属关系的变化可以随着时间的推移研究。受访者包括 59 名祖母，其中 50 名有过孩子们也接受了采访。样本按年龄分层祖父母辈（65岁以下和65岁以上）和亲属关系联系（母系或父系）。仅限于白人、中产阶级从公开离婚记录中选择的家庭。这些方法将结合民族志、描述性技术社会变量、功能状态和情绪的客观测量。到扩大调查研究的结果，描述性数据将是内容分析以阐明重组过程如何影响祖父母一代的地位。客观的接触测量，将重复互惠、功能状态和情绪来确定它们与不断变化的社会关系的关联。
