| Annotation | Data were from the first two waves of the US National Survey of Families and Households for 13017 people aged 19 and older in 1987-1988, of whom 77% were interviewed again in 1992-1993. The authors investigated associations between parent-child correspondence in early adulthood and parents' reports of the quality of parent-child and marital relations. The quality of parent-child or marital relations at Wave 1 had little relation to whether children co-resided at Wave 2; child situations were the primary predictors. Children who left and returned tended to be negatively selected on previous relationship quality, but parents accommodated them nonetheless. Co-residence between waves did not affect marital quality or parent-child relations at Wave 2, though it was associated with increased parent-child disagreements, particularly when previous disagreement was greater. Co-residence appeared to be experienced as part of ongoing exchanges between parents and adult children. (RH). |
