Effects of life course transitions on the quality of relationships between adult children and their parents

Article Abstract:

The effects of life course transitions undergone by each generation on changes in the adult child-parent relationship were studied by examining information from the 1987-1988 and 1992-1994 waves of the National Survey of Families and Households. Findings showed a significant variability in child-parent relationships. About 20% of relationships decline and 20% experience an improvement in relationships. Parental divorce and deterioration of parents' health cause a decline in the relationships.

It was found that those who moved often as children, move more often as adults and were more likely to move as a response to life course transitions.
