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，但大多数关于该主题的研究都是原子性的，关注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因家庭而异，区分了一个家庭与另一个家庭的转移行为，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，除了更传统的个体亲属测量之外，还发展了一种社会学分析：a)检查为什么相似配置的家庭在亲属交换行为上存在差异，以及为什么个体特征在家庭中具有不同的影响；B)将对老一辈和年轻一代的转移的研究置于同一概念框架内；c)研究家庭间种族和民族迁移的差异。四个核心问题指导了拟议的研究：a)家庭对家庭内部转移的集体取向是否不同？家庭转移行为之间的区别特征是什么？b)婚姻伴侣取向家庭的家庭迁移文化有多相似？c)家庭随时间的变化如何影响迁移，这种关系是否受家庭迁移文化的制约？d)家庭迁移是否存在有意义的队列差异，与家庭结构的差异不同？健康和退休研究（HRS）是主要的数据来源。在拟议项目的过程中，将提供七批两年一次的数据（1992-2006年）。这些数据提供了一个家庭中多达四代人的转移行为和不断变化的捐赠者和接受者的动态测量，以及家庭转移文化的直接和间接测量。非裔美国人和西班牙裔美国人的HRS样本足以分析种族差异。由于新的墨西哥健康与老龄化研究（MHAS）以HRS为模型，因此可以获得可比较的数据，以跨国视角检查家庭内部转移。多层次建模是主要的分析策略。上面列出的每一个目标都需要对父母对子女和子女对父母的转移进行平行分析，纳入广泛的转移和家庭措施，包括每个配偶/伴侣的具体指标。
