Résumé:

La plupart des recherches sur les relations entre générations au sein de families âgées ont principalement porté sur les parents frêles et leurs enfants d'êge adulte. Cette étude a pour but d'examiner les engagements entre générations et les liens entre les parents et leurs enfants qui géraient communément une ferme. Le point de mire théorique de l'étude était les intérêts de chacune des générations. Nous prédisions que les enjeux autour des intérêts devaient être cruciaux en raison de l'interdépendance des générations et du patrimoine familial à maintenir. Une échelle d'intérêts familiaux et agricoles a été élaborée, et les niveaux d'intérêt de ces deux secteurs ont été examinés en fonction de la génération et du sexe. Les différences entre générations, moins importantes que prédites, sont dues au rôle des belles-filles, lesquelles habitaient à l'extérieur de la maison de ferme.
