| Annotation | Research has revealed substantial variability among grandparents in level of involvement with their grandchildren. This study used data from the second wave of the National Survey of Families and Households (US) to examine the determinants of frequent and infrequent visiting between grandparents and their grandchild sets. A grandchild set consists of all the children of a particular child of the grandparent provided that the grandchildren live with their parents. Findings revealed six significant predictors of frequent or infrequent contact: geographic distance; quality of relationship between grandparent and parent of the grandchild set; number of grandchild sets; gender of grandparent; lineage of the grandchild set; and marital status of the grandparent.
