| Annotation | The authors examine how parents' relationships with their 13 to 25 year old offspring affect parents' willingness to ask them for help with financial and personal problems 20 years later. Husbands and wives were interviewed in 1974 and 1994; a child was interviewed in 1974. Two aspects of parental style - responsiveness and restrictive dominance - were used to predict parents' willingness to request help from a child 20 years later. Structural equation modelling analyses revealed the following: mothers' willingness to ask an adult child for help with a personal problem was increased to higher levels of responsiveness; mothers' willingness to ask for financial help was increased by responsiveness and decreased by restrictive-dominant maternal behaviour; and neither responsive nor restrictive dominant paternal behaviour affected fathers' later willingness to ask an adult child for help of either kind.
