Older persons from three-generation families responded to self-report questionnaires regarding rituals and traditions. Findings revealed that these persons perceived rituals to be important to building successful families. Participants revealed the most positive aspects of rituals to include strengthening relationships, maintaining family contact togetherness and sharing, memories, promotes communication, and enjoyment. Negative aspects were noise and disruption and too much work. Women viewed several aspects of rituals as more important than did men and more often perceived special religious events, Christmas/Chanuka and Easter/ Passover as important. Implications for persons working with older family members are discussed. |
