Young Adults' Relations with Their Grandparents: An Exploratory Study.

Hoffman, Edward

International Journal of Aging and Human Development, v10 n3 p299-309 1979-80

Some aspects of the relationship between young adult grandchildren and grandparents are examined. Results suggested the grandparent's kin position relative to the grandchild was a critical variable, more so than the grandparent's sex, in influencing the intensity of the bond. Other results are reviewed. (Author)
