Measurement of Intergenerational Relations

Mangen and Bengtson systematically describe and measure family relationships between generations across the life-course. They report results of a research programme focusing on intergenerational solidarity within families, based on an unusual three-generation study of 2044 grandparents, parents, children and grandchildren. Theoretical, conceptual and measurement issues are presented focusing on six dimensions of family interaction, using LISREL modeling as well as traditional reliability and validity assessments of measurement accuracy. The authors also make valuable suggestions for future research into intergenerational interaction.Mangen, David J. is the author of 'Measurement of Intergenerational Relations', published 1988 under ISBN 9780803929890 and ISBN 0803929897.
