“…Although a few grandparents over age 60 years with experiences of various life course stages participated, the focus of our larger study on family functioning in families with young children might have narrowed participants' attention to attributes of young families that do well. Importantly, however, our findings are consistent with previous studies on lay conceptualizations, which included laypeople of various ethnocultural origins, ages, and life-course stages (Ayón & Villa, 2013;Denham, 1999aDenham, , 1999bDenham, , 1999cKelley & Sequeira, 1997;Kushner, 2007;Lam et al, 2012;Martin & Yurkovick, 2014;Niska et al, 1999;Zwane et al, 2012). Comparable attributes to those described by our participants were included in these disparate samples' conceptualizations of family health/healthy family, well-functioning family, and strong family, suggesting that ethnocultural origin, age, and life course stage do not have substantial influence on how laypeople make sense of terms that refer to families that do well.…”
