Guided by the intergenerational solidarity framework, the present study explored the multidimensional portrayal of intergenerational relations including structural, associational, functional, and normative solidarity. Data came from the 2018 harmonized datasets of the Gateway to Global Aging from China, South Korea, and the United States. The sample was restricted to respondents over 65 years with at least one child, and one respondent per household was selected (China N = 4,368; South Korea N = 3,093; the US N = 2,153) . Latent Profile Analysis was used to identify patterns of intergenerational relations with nine variables including the number of sons and daughters, distance to the geographically closest child, contact frequency (face-to-face and remote), and physical and financial help from/to children. OLS regressions were used to analyze the associations between intergenerational relations and depressive symptoms among older parents. Five clusters were identified as the most optimal classification: Disconnected, Distant-Interacted, Interdependent, Close-Helping, and Coresiding-Dependent Parents. The proportions and the characteristics of each intergenerational profile significantly differed across countries. The associations between clusters and depressive symptoms also varied. This study confirmed that intergenerational relations are influenced by the interplay between micro-level individual and family attributes as well as macro-structural policies and cultures. Our findings offer valuable insights into cultural norms, societal structures, and policy implications related to family dynamics and aging.","cbCaijD2rKca5P2Y","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaijD2rKca5P2Y","pdf",484616,"English","# Abstract\n## Study aim and framework\n## Data and sample\n## Methods (Latent Profile Analysis, OLS regression)\n## Identified profiles and cross-country differences\n## Associations with depressive symptoms","[{\"question\":\"What is the primary goal of the study?\",\"answer\":\"To identify and compare patterns of intergenerational relations across three countries and to assess their associations with depressive symptoms among older adults.\"},{\"question\":\"How are intergenerational relations measured in this research?\",\"answer\":\"Using multidimensional intergenerational solidarity indicators covering structural, associational, functional, and normative aspects, including proximity, contact frequency, and physical or financial help.\"},{\"question\":\"What analytical approach is used to classify intergenerational relation patterns?\",\"answer\":\"Latent Profile Analysis is used with nine variables to identify distinct profiles of intergenerational relations.\"},{\"question\":\"How many profiles are identified, and do they differ across countries?\",\"answer\":\"Five profiles are identified—Disconnected, Distant-Interacted, Interdependent, Close-Helping, and Coresiding-Dependent Parents—and their proportions and characteristics significantly differ across the three countries.\"}]","CROSS-NATIONAL COMPARISONS OF INTERGENERATIONAL RELATIONS BETWEEN OLDER PARENTS AND ADULT CHILDREN | PDF",1790641782]
