| Annotation | This article examines a model in which the contributions made by older care receivers to their family members predicted personal control and ultimately psychological well-being of older people living in multigenerational households. Data from 129 people over the age of 60 reveals that physical health predicts the extent to which they contribute to the family: those in poorer health give less help to family members than those in better health. Their contributions to the family increased the sense of control experienced. Although personal control increased the overall sense of psychological well-being experienced by older care receivers, there was no direct relationship between elders' contributions to families and their psychological well-being. |
