Sibling Interaction and Morale

The Effects of Family Relations on Older People

Previous research has found no relationship between the morale of the elderly and frequency of interaction with children. This is often explained in terms of cohort differences in attitudes, values, and interests between parents and children. This study examines the relationship between morale and interaction with siblings among the elderly and finds no relationship. The indicated conclusion is that, at least in terms of interaction frequency, relations with kin do not affect the morale of the elderly. Furthermore, age differences are not relevant to the explanation of this fact.
