Generative Fathering and Married Adult Children's View of Connectedness between their Fathers and ThemselvesPeterson, Bethany Ann January 2011 (has links)
This study utilized a phenomenological approach to examine adult children's views of how
their fathers connected with them as children. Participants consisted of 10 men and 12
women between the ages of 30 and 60 who were interviewed about connection experiences
with their fathers. Participants completed interviews related to their perspectives on being
fathered, experiences as a son or daughter, and what they experienced in connecting with
their fathers. Findings indicated that fathers connect with children through a variety of
contexts that include memorable occasions, activities, personal interactions, routines,
events, and other means. Also. obstacles to connection between fathers and children were
explored. Study findings and their implications for theory, research, and practical
application are discussed.

Childhood Maltreatment and Later-Life Intergenerational SolidarityKong, Jooyoung January 2016 (has links)
Thesis advisor: James Lubben / Thesis advisor: Sara M. Moorman / Every year, more than three million allegations of childhood maltreatment are received by child protective services, many of which involve cases of abuse or neglect inflicted by the victims’ parents. A number of studies found that negative consequences of childhood maltreatment can last for a lifetime. Despite the long-term impact of childhood maltreatment, later-life relationships between adult victims of childhood maltreatment and their abusive parent have rarely been examined. This dissertation aims to address the gap in the literature by examining how adult victims of childhood maltreatment relate to their abusive parent when the parent becomes old and requires long-term care assistance. This three-paper dissertation utilized existing data sources: Wisconsin Longitudinal Study and National Survey of Midlife Development in the United States. The first paper examined the mediating effect of intergenerational solidarity with the aging mother in the association between maternal childhood maltreatment and adult psychological functioning. The second paper used longitudinal data analysis to compare long-term changes in affectual solidarity with aging mothers between adults with a history of childhood abuse and those without. This paper also examined moderating effects of the correlates of childhood abuse (i.e., poor social competency and lack of emotional regulation) in the association between childhood abuse and affectual solidarity with the aging mother. The third paper focused on the caregiving situation in which adult victims of childhood abuse provided care to their abusive parent. This paper investigated whether and how providing care to the abusive parent was associated with psychological distress among abused adult children, and whether self-esteem mediated the association. By revealing the dynamics of later-life relationships between adult victims of childhood maltreatment and their abusive parent, this three-paper dissertation not only contributes to creating new knowledge to the aging literature, but also provides future direction for social work practice and policy. / Thesis (PhD) — Boston College, 2016. / Submitted to: Boston College.

Mixed emotions in late life : older parents' experiences of intergenerational ambivalencePeters, Cheryl L. 02 June 2003 (has links)
Interviewing eighteen older parents (aged 65 and older) with two or more
children for this project established support for the emotional experience of
intergenerational ambivalence. Seventy-five parent-child relationships were
discussed. Two major themes arose over what healthy, independently living
parents feel ambivalent about in their relationships with their midlife children. The
first theme focused on how parents simultaneously felt sadness and pride about the
busyness of their children's lives. In some respects, parents sensed themselves left
out of their children's everyday life, yet they accepted these feelings with a
gratified knowledge that their children were functioning adults in society. The
second theme of intergenerational ambivalence that surfaced from the interviews
was the issue of respecting and negotiating boundaries around spheres of
influence. Parents oscillated between positive and negative feelings and thoughts
about the appropriateness of offering advice to children. Parents shared conflicted
thoughts about stepping back, allowing their children to live their own lives even if
they disapproved of certain aspects of it. A few parents shared situations when
they felt they did interfere and overstepped their right to comment on their
children's life decisions. This theme centered around four issues: financial matters,
core beliefs of politics and religion, romantic partnerships, and parenting styles.
This study also examined management strategies parents used to sort out
and think through complex feelings and thoughts about their midlife children. A
contribution this project gives to the emergence of intergenerational ambivalence
as a theoretical concept of study in parent-child relations over the lifecourse is the
experience of older mothers and fathers. I found no evidence parents experienced
qualitatively different emotions because of their gender. Instead, the underlying
experience of intergenerational ambivalence was very similar for mothers and
fathers. From the results presented in this study, mixed emotions seem to be a
natural and normative experience in late life. Older parents experienced
ambivalence on a psychological level. Conflicting inner thoughts and mixed
emotions resulted from everyday interactions and conversations with midlife
children. / Graduation date: 2004
