Coping strategies of people living in multigenerational households: effects on well-being

Article Abstract:

A survey of 140 individuals comprising women, men and children was conducted to find out whether information pertinent to coping tactics used by other family members affected particular individuals. For children and women, coping strategies were carried out independent of decisions of others. On the other hand, husbands' strategies and depressive states were a result of both their own strategies and those of others.
