| Annotation | The purpose of this study was to determine how three generations view the contribution and needs of grandparents in Japan. A sample of grandparents, parents and grandchildren from urban and rural areas completed the Grandparents Strengths and Needs Inventory (Strom and Strom, 1993). Grandparents reported more satisfaction, success and involvement in teaching than was observed by parents and grandchildren. Grandparents experienced more frustration and difficulty, and saw themselves as less informed about their role than younger people. Significant main effects were generation, grandchild gender, grandchild age, generations living together, frequency of grandchild care by the grandparent, and amount of time the generations spent together. Implications for building curricula and guidelines for course development are identified. |
