Abstract

ABSTRACT Fifty older parents and their adult offspring participated in interviews designed to study intergenerational family relationships from both perceptual and interactional perspectives. The study was devised to bridge some of the gaps between research on older couples within the gerontological literature and knowledge within the field of family therapy. Among other factors, the results support ideas that self-reported adult functioning, specifically social anxiety and loneliness, are linked to perceptions of family of origin experience and that coherence in views of the family of procreation as rated by parents is related to individual well-being for offspring and positive feelings about the current intergenerational family functioning.
