| Annotation | The authors used structured interview data from a representative sample of older mothers to explore in depth the predictors of relationship quality, satisfactions and complaints prevalent in relationships with mothers in later life. Structured interview data revealed that the intimacy aspect of relationship quality is influenced by contact satisfaction, past conflict, control issues, and amount of discretionary contact; whereas the antagonism dimension is affected by present conflict, control issues, and mother's education. Analysis of semi-structured interview data showed that elements of companionship, cohesion, and conflict underscore perceptions of relationship quality. The authors challenge feminist researchers to demonstrate how their findings can improve women's lives. |
