| Annotation | The University of Southern California (USC) Longitudinal Study of Generations has more than twenty years of data from some 2000 individuals representing three, four and now five-generation families. The author has been examining issues concerning continuities and contrasts across generations, including: changes over time in family relationships, and whether these are attributable to ageing or broad sociohistorical trends; the effects of family members' personal attributes such as values, socio-political attitudes, marital happiness, health and well-being; and the connection between intergenerational solidarity and family members' well-being, and whether this changes from adolescence through middle adulthood and later life. Many questions remain for future investigation, and reflect the value of long-term longitudinal data. |
