Aims: This dissertation examined the within- and between-family differences in the quality of intergenerational relationships in families of an adult with disabilities [developmental disabilities (DD) or serious mental illnesses (SMI)]. This dissertation also explored the association between the quality of the intergenerational relationships and the health and well-being of aging parents of adults with disabilities. Methods: Data were from the 2011 Wisconsin Longitudinal Study in which parent participants (Mage = 71; n = 7,285) were asked about their relationship with each of their adult children. Multilevel models were estimated (1) to compare the quality of the parents' relationship with their adult child with disabilities to the quality of their relationships with other non-disabled children and (2) to examine whether the relationships aging parents have with their non-disabled children differed between families of an adult child with disabilities and families in which none of the children had disabilities. In addition, structural equation models were estimated (3) to examine whether the quality of intergenerational relationships mediates the negative associations between having a child with disabilities and parental health. The quality of the intergenerational relationship was operationalized by measures of ambivalence and its two components, solidarity and conflict. Results: Aging parents experienced greater ambivalence toward their child with SMI relative to their other children whereas no differences were found in how parents rated their relationships with their adult child with DD and their other non-disabled adult children. In between-family comparison, parents of an adult with SMI were likely to perceive greater ambivalence toward their non-disabled adult children than comparison group parents who did not have any child with disabilities. No differences were found between parents of an adult with DD and comparison group parents. Also, parental ambivalence toward their non-disabled adult children played a significant indirect role in the negative association of having a child with disabilities and parental health. Conclusion: The findings have implications for clinical practice with aging families of adults with disabilities and suggest the need for additional research to better understand intergenerational dynamics in aging families of adults with disabilities.

This book was released on 2014-06-17. Families available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. This special volume is devoted to the synthesis and review of theoretical and conceptual approaches associated with familial and non-familial connections across the life span. An important book as society “returns to the family,” it compares and contrasts different disciplinary perspectives associated with intergenerational relationships. Because intergenerational relationships have been the focus of research in many disciplines, various perspectives have emerged about kin and non-kin connections. Renewed interest in families and familial connections is due largely to events and situations occurring in complex, modernized societies which place the intergenerational nexus on center stage. The leading researchers represented in this outstanding book provide rare opportunity for the scholarly comparison of the various perspectives in the broader spectrum of family relations.Families: Intergenerational and Generational Connecting is a significant addition to the body of research on family connections. The three major areas of generational and intergenerational connections include theoretical and conceptual perspectives, connections within the family, and connections outside the family. As the use of families as support networks for individual members increases, this timely book will be an invaluable aid to educators, students, and researchers concerned about families and familial and non-familial relationships. Counselors and therapists will value this enlightening book with its diverse theoretical and conceptual perspectives on kinship, intergenerational solidarity and relations, social supports, and cross-national perspectives on family connections.
