DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The proposed research will investigate new questions regarding how relationships between parents and their adult children are imbedded in and influenced by relationships with other adult children. There has been increasing research on these relations in recent years, but most analyses have focused on single parent-child pairs rather than family structure and the entire network of relations. Using multilevel modeling of repeated measurements we will determine how these relations operate within a family context and influence each other. There are three specific aims. First, we will investigate how parents' relationships with multiple adult children relate to each other, assessing the appropriateness of multilevel modeling approaches and whether conceptual models of competition or cultures of familism more accurately represent this cluster of relationships. Second, we will analyze how characteristics of parents and adult children (such as gender, proximity, and family status), and changes in those characteristics (such as widowhood, divorce, childbearing, residential moves, or changes in parents' health), affect not only their own dyadic relations but also indirectly influence relationships of other siblings with their parents. Third, we will examine whether/how these processes may vary by gender and by race/ethnicity of parent and each adult child. We will use three waves of the National Survey of Families and Households to investigate these questions, focusing on the subset of respondents who have two or more adult children. This large, national probability sample of U.S. residents includes information on characteristics of respondents and of each adult child, as well as on respondents' relationship with each child.

描述（由申请人提供）：拟议的研究将调查有关父母与其成年子女之间的关系如何嵌入与其他成年子女的关系并受其影响的新问题。近年来，对这些关系的研究越来越多，但大多数分析都集中在单亲-子女对上，而不是家庭结构和整个关系网络上。使用重复测量的多级建模，我们将确定这些关系如何在家庭背景下运作并相互影响。具体目标有三个。首先，我们将调查父母与多个成年子女的关系如何相互关联，评估多层次建模方法的适当性，以及竞争或家庭主义文化的概念模型是否更准确地代表这组关系。其次，我们将分析父母和成年子女的特征（例如性别、亲缘关系和家庭状况）以及这些特征的变化（例如丧偶、离婚、生育、搬家或父母健康状况的变化）如何不仅影响他们自己的二元关系，而且间接影响其他兄弟姐妹与父母的关系。第三，我们将研究这些过程是否/如何因父母和每个成年子女的性别、种族/民族而异。我们将利用三轮全国家庭调查来调查这些问题，重点关注有两个或更多成年子女的受访者子集。这个美国居民的大型全国概率样本包括有关受访者和每个成年子女的特征以及受访者与每个孩子的关系的信息。
