• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Ganong and Coleman (both U. of Missouri-Columbia) draw on their programmatic research exploring normative beliefs regarding post-divorce inter-generational family obligations to construct a picture of the shifting landscape of modern families. Some of the 13 studies they discuss have been reported in professional journals, but they have reanalyzed the data in light of subsequent findings and rewritten their analyses.

This volume explores attitudes and beliefs concerning intergenerational family responsibilities with special focus on families affected by divorce and/or remarriage. For developmentalists, family studies specialists, sociologists, and policy makers.
