DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Intergenerational transfers occur within a family context, yet most research on the topic is atomistic, focusing on the attributes and behaviors of individuals in the family matrix and not on the family itself. Social norms and behaviors related to familial obligation and responsibility differ across families, distinguishing the transfer behaviors of one family from another and defining the intergenerational culture within which family members act. This research focuses on shared family traits, in addition to more conventional measures of individual kin, to develop a sociological analysis that: a) examines why similarly-configured families differ in their kin exchange behaviors and why individual characteristics have variable effects across families; b) locates research on transfers to older and younger generations within the same conceptual framework; and, c) examines race and ethnic transfer differences across families. Four central questions guide the proposed research: a) Do families differ in their collective orientation to intrafamily transfers, and what characteristics distinguish among families' transfer behavior? b) How similar to each other are the family transfer cultures of the families of orientation of marriage partners? c) How does family change over time affect transfers and is that relationship conditioned by family transfer culture? d) Are there meaningful cohort differences in family transfers, distinct from differences in family structure? The Health and Retirement Study (HRS) is the major data source. Over the course of the proposed project, seven biennial waves of data (1992-2006) will become available. These data provide dynamic measures of transfer behaviors across as many as four generations of a family and a changing pool of donors and recipients as well as direct and indirect measures of family transfer culture. HRS oversamples of African Americans and Hispanics are adequate for the analyses of ethnic differences. Because the new Mexican Health and Aging Study (MHAS) is modeled on the HRS, comparable data are available to examine intrafamily transfers in a transnational perspective. Multilevel modeling is the primary analytic strategy. Each of the goals listed above requires parallel analyses of parent-to-child and child-to-parent transfers, incorporating a broad range of transfer and family measures, including indicators specific to each spouse/partner.

描述（由申请人提供）：代际转移发生在家庭背景下，但大多数关于这一主题的研究是原子式的，侧重于家庭矩阵中个人的属性和行为，而不是家庭本身。与家庭义务和责任相关的社会规范和行为在不同家庭中有所不同，这将一个家庭的转移行为与另一个家庭区分开来，并定义了家庭成员行为的代际文化。本研究的重点是共同的家庭特征，除了更传统的措施，个人亲属，发展一个社会学分析：a）检查为什么类似配置的家庭在他们的亲属交换行为不同，为什么个人特征有不同的影响，在家庭之间; B）定位研究在同一个概念框架内的转移到老年人和年轻一代;以及，c）检查家庭之间的种族和民族转移差异。四个核心问题指导拟议的研究：（一）家庭是否在他们的集体取向不同的家庭内转移，什么特点区分家庭的转移行为？B）婚姻伴侣取向家庭的家庭迁移文化有多相似？ （c）随着时间的推移，家庭的变化如何影响转移，这种关系是否受到家庭转移文化的制约？（d）在家庭转移方面是否存在与家庭结构不同的有意义的群组差异？健康和退休研究（HRS）是主要的数据来源。在拟议项目期间，将提供七批两年期数据（1992-2006年）。这些数据提供了一个家庭多达四代人的转移行为的动态措施，不断变化的捐赠者和接受者以及家庭转移文化的直接和间接措施。非裔美国人和西班牙裔美国人的HRS过采样足以分析种族差异。由于新的墨西哥健康和老龄化研究（MHAS）是仿照HRS，可比数据可用于检查家庭内转移的跨国角度。多层次建模是主要的分析策略。上述每一项目标都要求对父母向子女和子女向父母的转移进行平行分析，纳入广泛的转移和家庭措施，包括针对每一配偶/伴侣的指标。
