Close To You? How Parent-Adult Child Contact Is Influenced by Family Patterns
Discussion.
The empirical patterns we report can be framed within enhancement and compensation models. Positive correlations and cross-sibling interactions that juxtapose levels of visiting against not seeing a child in last 12 months are consistent with the enhancement model. The cross-sibling interaction for distance, whereby one child’s farther distance leads to more visits reported with others, provides evidence of a countervailing, though, weaker, pattern of compensation for proximity.

Childrens Divorce and Parent-Child Contact: A Within-Family Analysis of Older European Parents
This study examines how adult children’s divorce affects the amount of contact children have with older parents, making a distinction between the effects of being single on the one hand and the effects of divorce on the other hand.

Results.
When comparing single divorced children and married children, no difference in con...

Results.
Religious attendance was negatively associated with a system of physiological issues, consistent with mitigation of multisystemic "weathering." Linkages were relativ...
