Measurement of Intergenerational RelationsDavid J. Mangen, Vern Bengtson, Pierre H. Landry, Jr. This is the first systematic attempt to describe and measure family relationships between generations across the life-course. The authors report results of a research programme focusing on intergenerational solidarity within families, based on an unusual three-generation study. Theoretical, conceptual and measurement issues are also presented focusing on six dimensions of family interaction. |
