Family processes, parent-child intercations, and child characteristics influencing school-based social adjustment
Article Abstract:
A family-school relationships model was analyzed to determine the effects of general family relations, school-focused parent-child interactions and child personal characteristics on the children's school-based social adjustment. Results show that children being pressured by their parents to excel in their academics tend to drift from their educational pursuits. However, family cohesiveness was observed to reduce pressure and increase parental support, thus, the easy adjustment of children in school.

Race differences in filial responsibility expectations among older parents
Article Abstract:
A research was conducted to determine if black and white aging parents have different filial responsibility expectations. Results show that blacks have higher filial responsibility expectations than whites, which may be due to their long history of discrimination and limited access to economic resources. It was also observed that aging parents still turn to formal service providers, despite their expectations of material and non-material assistance from their children and descendants.

Intergenerational ambivalence: a new approach to the study of parent-child relations in later life
Article Abstract:
Ambivalence was introduced as a means of empirically and theoretically studying intergenerational relations. This new approach argues that relationships between the generations in families are organized in a way that they can generate numerous types of ambivalence. With this, study of parent-child relations in later life is not just interpreted through the limited framework of conflict and solidarity perspective models.
