  • Sociology
  • Family Studies

Background:

  • Understanding the factors influencing intergenerational interactions is crucial for supporting aging populations.
  • Personal resources of elderly parents may play a significant role in shaping these relationships.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the relationship between elderly parents' personal resources (familial, economic, physical, cognitive) and different types of intergenerational exchange.
  • To examine how resource availability influences instrumental aid, shared leisure, and affective relations.

Main Methods:

  • Data collected from 145 Jewish elderly individuals through structured personal interviews.
  • Analysis employed a stepwise multiple regression procedure to identify significant relationships.

Main Results:

  • Personal resources were positively associated with expressive interactions (shared leisure, affective relations).
  • A negative relationship was found between personal resources and instrumental aid provided by parents.
  • Findings highlight the multidimensional nature of intergenerational bonds.

Conclusions:

  • Elderly parents' personal resources significantly shape the dynamics of intergenerational exchange.
  • Resource availability influences the balance between supportive aid and expressive connection within families.
