“…Our findings support the hierarchical model of family relations, as proposed by Cantor (1979). Parental ties, and especially sibling ties, are less strongly associated with people's depressive mood than are ties with a partner and children.…”

“…According to Cantor (1979) family relationships can be represented as a set of nested circles, reflecting a hierarchy of kinship relations. During the first stages of life, parental and sibling ties are primary ties, and are thus part of the inner circle of family relationships.…”

“…We investigate the possibility of a hierarchy of kinship relationships (Cantor 1979) by examining whether ties with parents and siblings, "primary" ties during childhood, are more "secondary" in people's adult life, when greater priority is given to spouses and children.…”

“…Physical distance made it less likely that friends helped the respondents with each of the ten tasks, regardless of emotional closeness, with three exceptions. 2 The exceptions were help with housekeeping, cooking, and decision making. As I mentioned above, there were not enough cases to look closely at the effects on help with housekeeping.…”

Abstract:The author discusses the need for a better theoretical understanding of friendship in order for its role in the lives of elderly people to be understood. The applicability to friendship of Simmel's approach to the study of social relationships is outlined. From this perspective, types of friendship are determined by the physical distance separating friends and the emotional closeness bringing them together. The data consist of seventy in-depth interviews of senior, unmarried women in a middle-class community bordering on Chicago. Qualitative data are reported to support quantitative analyses. There were positive relationships between emotional closeness and physical distance, duration and emotional closeness, and frequency of interaction and proximity. The author describes the implications for elderly women of the tendency for their close, old friends to be physically separated from them and their neighbors to be casual friends, but constant companions. The author discusses the effects of the age-density of residential context and life history on the types of friends the women had.

“…the family appears to be just as effective at providing care, irrespective of the individual family member who actually provides the care. there is no evidence therefore of the hierarchical-compensatory model, which suggests that dependent adults prefer to be cared for first by their spouse, followed by their children, other members of the family and, finally, formal carers (Cantor 1979). the work presented here has limitations which must be considered when interpreting its results.…”

KaRim ahmed-mohamed karim.ahmed@cchs.csic.es Centro de Ciencias Humanas y Sociales (CCHS-CSIC). Spain.abstRact the objectives of this study in the spanish context are: (1) to identify what source of care (informal, private or public care) achieves the lowest perception of unmet needs amongst dependent adults and (2) to identify which factors are associated with a greater perception of unmet needs within each source of care. this research is based on a sample of 4,766 dependent adults who completed the 2008 survey on disability, personal autonomy and dependency situations (edad). dependent adults who received only paid care were less likely to perceive unmet needs compared to those who received other types of care. dependents who received public care were more likely to perceive unmet needs. perception of unmet needs is related to the characteristics of the dependent adults, the primary carers and the caregiving context. the results suggest that policy design must not assume that dependent people prefer family care to other types of care and demonstrate that public care is perceived as unsatisfactory.

ResumenLos objetivos de este trabajo son: (1) identificar el proveedor de cuidado (informal, privado o público) que consigue una menor percepción de necesidades no cubiertas entre los adultos dependientes en España, (2) identificar qué factores se relacionan con una mayor percepción de necesidades no cubiertas en cada situación, atendiendo al proveedor de cuidado. se analizó una muestra de 4.766 adultos dependientes de la encuesta sobre discapacidades, Autonomía personal y situaciones de Dependencia (EDAD 2008). Los adultos dependientes que recibieron únicamente cuidado privado tuvieron menos probabilidades de percibir sus necesidades no cubiertas, en comparación con quienes recibieron cualquier otro tipo de cuidado. Quienes recibieron cuidado solo de servicios sociales tuvieron más probabilidades de percibir sus necesidades como no cubiertas. la percepción de necesidades no cubiertas está relacionada con las características de la persona dependiente, del cuidador y del contexto del cuidado. Los resultados sugieren que el diseño de políticas públicas no debe dar por supuesto que las personas dependientes prefieren el cuidado familiar por encima de otras fórmulas de atención y muestran que los servicios públicos de cuidado son percibidos como insatisfactorios.
