Question

As parents age, it is not uncommon for them to have to depend on their adult children.Do you think that people’s history of experiences in their relationships with their parents might shape people’s willingness to provide care for their aging parents? In other words, are secure adults more likely to provide responsive care to their aging parents?

. Some people, despite reporting insecure relationships with their parents, report secure,well-functioning relationships with their spouses. What kinds of experiences do you think might enable someone to develop a secure relationship with their partners despite having an insecure relationship with other central figures in their lives?

. Most attachment research on adults focuses on attachment to peers (e.g., romantic partners). What may other kinds of things serve as attachment figures? Do you think siblings, pets, or gods can serve as attachment figures?

Please like for efforts.

Aging individuals usually try to establish sources of Independence whether it comes to financial support aur emotional support during the late years of their life. To achieve this many individuals often subscribe to pension schemes and or health insurances which can help them in being independent by asking their children to help them during their old age. Adults who form attachment towards their family members may be ready to provide for their aging parents even if they are not financially stable themselves. There is no correlational establishment which states that adults who are financially stable have more chances to get involved in helping their parents in the future. Some people despite reporting insecure relationships with their parents report secure well functioning relationships with their spouses, which can sometimes lead to less involvement with parents in the future. Since most adults form attachment with their parents or spouses, it is not usual for adults to form attachment with figures like gods but it is possible for adults to have attachment with siblings or pets.
