Area of Science:

  • Gerontology
  • Family Studies
  • Educational Psychology

Background:

  • The development of the nation's first curriculum for grandparents aimed to enhance intergenerational relationships.
  • Assessing the effectiveness of such programs is crucial for understanding their impact on family dynamics.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To determine the benefits of a newly developed grandparent curriculum on grandparent attitudes and behaviors.
  • To evaluate the program's effectiveness through multi-generational feedback.

Main Methods:

  • 210 experimental subjects participated in the grandparent curriculum.
  • The Grandparent Strengths and Needs Inventory was administered to grandparents, parents, and grandchildren at three time points.
  • Multivariate analyses examined the influence of eleven independent variables on grandparent performance.

Main Results:

  • Grandparents who received the instruction showed significant improvements in attitudes and behaviors post-intervention.
  • Positive changes reported by grandparents were corroborated by evaluations from their adult children and grandchildren.
  • A control group of 185 subjects demonstrated no significant improvements, highlighting the curriculum's impact.

Conclusions:

  • The grandparent curriculum is effective in improving grandparent attitudes and behaviors.
  • The program's benefits extend to and are recognized by multiple generations within the family.
  • Further research can explore the specific impact of independent variables on grandparenting effectiveness.
