| Annotation | Data were collected from 252 co-resident caregiving daughters and daughters-in-law and their husbands. The authors hypothesised that biological children would give more care than children-in-law, and that children-in-law would have very different caregiving experiences and resultant appraisals as compared with biological children. On the contrary, the experiences are very similar for children and children-in-law in caregiving families. It is suggested that the important factor is not the relationship to the older person that has the impact, rather it is the quality of the relationship that is consistently important. (RH). |
