Resumo(s)
This study aims to analyze the perspectives of intergenerational relationships
between older adults and adult children. For this purpose, a qualitative
research was carried out, which analyzes these relations at a cross-national
level. Four hundred and twenty four older participants aged 65–97 years,
were interviewed. Participants were of three different nationalities and lived
in the community. All the interviews went through the process of verbatim
transcription and subsequent content analysis. Two dimensions of generational
ambivalence were revealed from the study; support and the conflict
dimensions. Findings of content analysis produced six themes, which represent
intergenerational relations between older adults and adult children:
older adults-adult children interaction quality; family integration; care and
support; definition of limits; distance and alienation; and communication
difficulties. This study highlighted the diversity of experiences in old age, in
relation to intergenerational relationships and underlined the conflicting
expectations from older adults in relation to their adult children.
