Abstract:
This study explores the influence of self-processes involving grandparenthood on the frequency of contact with grandchildren and grandparent satisfaction, and the influence of these self-processes, frequency of contact, and grandparent satisfaction on subjective well-being. A mail survey was conducted with randomly selected people between 65-74 years of age (N = 226) living in a city. The results showed that grandparent centrality and grandparent identity meanings influenced the frequency of contact with grandchildren. Grandparent-identity meanings influenced grandparent satisfaction. Additionally, grandparent-identity meanings and grandparent satisfaction influenced subjective well-being. The findings suggest that only grandparent-identity meanings in self-processes of grandparenthood influenced grandparent satisfaction and subjective well-being.
