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.

这项拟议中的研究将调查有关父母和父母之间关系的新问题。 他们的成年子女被嵌入到与其他成年子女的关系中，并受其影响。一直 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一的 父母与子女的关系，而不是家庭结构和整个关系网络。使用多级建模 通过反复测量，我们将确定这些关系在家庭环境中是如何运作的， 相互影响。有三个具体目标。首先，我们将调查父母与 多个成年儿童相互关联，评估多层次建模的适当性 方法和是否竞争的概念模型或文化的家庭主义更准确 代表了这一系列的关系。其次，我们将分析父母和成年人的特点， 儿童（如性别、接近程度和家庭状况），以及这些特征的变化（如 丧偶、离婚、生育、搬家或父母健康状况的变化），不仅影响他们的生活， 自己的二元关系，但也间接影响其他兄弟姐妹与父母的关系。三是 将研究这些过程是否/如何因性别和父母的种族/民族而异， 成年的孩子。我们将利用三波全国家庭和住户调查来调查 这些问题，侧重于有两个或两个以上成年子女的受访者的子集。这么大， 美国居民的国家概率样本包括关于受访者特征和 每个成年子女，以及受访者与每个孩子的关系。
