“…Various intergenerational or multigenerational initiatives have been designed and implemented globally to facilitate enabling, age-integrated social spaces (UNICEF, 2013) to deal with the impact of the "longevity revolution" (Kaplan, Sánchez, & Hoffman, 2017, p. 1). These intergenerational initiatives have for the most part been ad hoc, once off, focusing on the outcomes for individuals and mainly benefiting one of the generational groups (Hewett, Roos, & De Klerk, 2016). Scant attention has been paid to the outcomes of intergenerational initiatives in terms of 'what works, for whom, in which context and circumstances and how' (Dalkin, Greenhalgh, Jones, Cunningham, & Lhussier, 2015;Emmel, Greenhalgh, Manzano, Monaghan, & Dalkin, 2018;Westhorp, 2018).…”

This study describes the causal powers of mechanisms in dynamic interplay with relevant contexts (socio-cultural-historical and interpersonal) by looking at the outcome patterns of a multigenerational food initiative from a critical realist perspective. Heuristic constructs taken from psychological, interactional, and group theories implied in the multigenerational initiative are discussed. Textual data, obtained from women (n = 104) from three generations in rural South Africa in 11 focus group discussions, were analyzed thematically to present outcome patterns. Findings illustrate the transformative potential of mechanisms, their interrelatedness on different levels, and the activation of a deeper level mechanism. Broad guidelines are proposed for sustainable intergenerational initiatives.

This study describes intergenerational care perceptions in a resource-challenged community. Ten women (aged 60+) and eight middle adolescents (3 boys and 5 girls) participated in the Mmogo-method®, a visual data-collection method. Textual data were analysed thematically, and visual data by applying Roos and Redelinghuys (2016) proposed steps. Both groups provided physical and instrumental care to the other. Older women cared for adolescents by teaching and disciplining them, while the adolescents cared for them by obtaining an education and by showing respect. Older women felt being cared for when adolescents helped them, obeyed and complied with instructions and discipline, while the youngsters expressed it when their basic needs were addressed and school attendance was enabled. Older women's expressions of caring about were vague, while the younger people detected, act and elicited reactions from the elders. The adopted care approach informed care perceptions. Joint intergenerational activities are proposed to discover care currencies and contributions of generational members.

Optimal intergenerational relationships make important social contributions to age-inclusive communities and societies. Intergenerational relationships involve different cohorts of people across the life course. Existing theories look at intergenerational relationships from an intrapsychic experience, socio-cultural perspective, and/or in terms of outcomes, but do not adequately explain what occurs between interacting generational members to yield the experiences and outcomes. We identified Rogers’ person-centred approach (PCA) as a useful framework for creating optimal relationships and accordingly this article aims to identify the constructs of the PCA in the context in which Rogers developed them and we applied them to intergenerational relationships in sub-Saharan Africa. We conducted a scoping review and sampled Rogers’ original publications between January 1951 and December 1997 and obtained 1200 documents. After removing duplicates ( n = 567) and applying exclusion criteria, 67 records were analysed thematically. The following PCA constructs emerged: congruence, warmth, empathy, unconditional positive regard, and locus of control, as well as two outcomes of the optimal manifestation of PCA constructs: confirmation and differentiation. We also present two PCA relational dynamics to explain optimal relationships: circularity and reciprocity. Interpreting intergenerational relationships through the lens of the PCA not only identifies the constructs of optimal relationships but also offers recommendations for transforming intergenerational relationships towards new levels of interpersonal cohesion.
