“…Traditionally, Turkey is a country experiencing a rapid social change while maintaining close interpersonal and interdependent relationships (Kağıtçıbaşı, 2000). The individual has a network of close ties, including the nuclear family, relatives, and close neighbors (Manalel, & Antonucci, 2020).…”

This review has contributions to the area that it summarizes present parent -adolescent and parent-adult relationships in Turkey by interpreting the general traditional structure of Turkish family from very early years to present with cross- cultural studies.

“…The simple and straightforward nature of the hierarchical mapping technique is readily understood by individuals across the life span, making it a valuable measure for use by people of different ages (or the same individuals longitudinally). The hierarchical mapping technique has been successfully used from middle childhood through late older adulthood (Antonucci, Ajrouch, & Webster, 2019; Manalel & Antonucci, 2019). Moreover, this method easily and successfully translates to different cultural or national contexts and has been used in the United States among diverse groups of older adults including Whites, Blacks, Arab Americans, and Hispanic Americans (e.g., Ajrouch, 2005; Ajrouch, Antonucci, & Janevic, 2001; Winston et al, 2015), as well as in Japan, Mexico, Lebanon, France, and Germany (e.g., Antonucci et al, 2001; Antonucci, Ajrouch, & Abdulrahim, 2014; Fuller‐Iglesias & Antonucci, 2016).…”

The convoy model of social relations was developed to provide a heuristic framework for conceptualizing and understanding social relationships. In this Original Voices article, we begin with an overview of the theoretical tenets of the convoy model, including its value in addressing situational and contextual influences, especially variability in family forms and cultural diversity across the life span, but particularly in older adulthood. We also consider the contributions of the convoy model to the field of family gerontology by illustrating concepts, methods, and measures used to test the model, as well as its usefulness and limitations in addressing contemporary issues facing older adults. Finally, we discuss opportunities for innovation and application of the convoy model to the study of later-life family relationships. In summary, we emphasize the benefits and inclusiveness of the convoy model for guiding current and future research to address challenges facing family gerontology now and in the future.

“…Greater kin composition and extended family involvement characterize persons of color, whereas the social networks of White individuals consist of more friends (Levitt et al, 1993;Taylor et al, 2013). This pattern has been found in children's social networks as well (Manalel & Antonucci, 2020). Similarly, Black Americans report more very close social partners than White Americans across adulthood (Fung et al, 2001).…”

Personal networks undergo changes in structure and composition throughout the life span, adapting to developmental transitions and changing circumstances in a dynamic way. This study examines stability and change in social convoys from childhood to adulthood and variation in trajectories of convoy characteristics by gender and race. Multilevel models for convoy structure and composition characteristics were estimated using three waves of longitudinal data spanning 23 years. The regionally representative sample included 193 children aged 8 to 12 in Wave 1 (1992) who were surveyed again in their 20s (Wave 2) and 30s (Wave 3). The Wave 1 sample comprised 52% girls, 32% Black children, and 59% White children with average maternal educational attainment of 13 years. Overall, changes in composition, proximity, and contact frequency were observed at each wave. Between Waves 1 and 2, the changes reflect age-normative trends toward network diversification typical of the transition to adulthood, whereas between Waves 2 and 3, the changes were consistent with those expected as young adults settle into stable roles. We also identified convoy characteristics that differed between men and women and between Black and White individuals, emphasizing the importance of considering personal characteristics to fully understand form and function of social relations. Social convoy trajectories early in the life span provide direction for more in-depth examinations of the implications of social ties during these critical life periods.
