| | | | Summary: | This survey was conducted in San Antonio, Texas, where the
Mexican-American population is approximately half a million and
accounts for over 50 percent of the city's population. The large number
of Mexican Americans made San Antonio an appropriate setting for a
three-generation study. This survey sought to describe the role of
older Mexican Americans in the extended family by obtaining information
on relations between generations, frequency of contact, amount of
intergenerational social support, and strength of affectual ties. The
three-generation families studied consisted of an older person (aged
65-80 years), a middle-aged child, and an adult (aged 18 years and
over) married or previously married grandchild of the same family line,
all living within 50 miles of San Antonio. Variables include sex, age,
education, marital status, number of children, length of residence, and
relationships. Also asked were questions on religion, political
preferences, health, occupation, and language spoken, read, and
understood. Other items cover life satisfaction and cooperation and
help between spouses, between parents and children, and between
grandparents and grandchildren. Comparisons of views, beliefs, goals,
activities, contact, and support among family members are also
included. |
