## Abstract

The major specific aim of the proposed 36-month research project is to
examine caregiving from the perspective of the elderly care receiver.
There has been a great deal of research on the experiences of caregivers,
but the perspective of the care receiver has been seriously neglected in
gerontological research.  The proposed research will: 1, examine the
experience of caregiving from the perspective of 500 elderly care
receivers; 2, examine a model of care receiving derived from stress and
social breakdown theory, that consists of background variables,
stressors, resources and adaptational outcomes; and 3, examine two key
constructs qualitatively in addition to their examination with standard
measures.  Of particular interest in the proposed research are three
elements: the sense of control and efficacy held by care receivers; the
possibility of conflict between caregiver and care receiver; and the
process of adaptation to care receiving that the care receiver utilizes.

To conduct this research, we propose to interview 500 cognitively-able
spouseless men and women age 65 and older who receive some regular form
of help or aid from an adult daughter; informants may live independently
or with the daughter.  No interviews will be conducted with the
caregiver.  Interviews will consist of two approximately hour long
sessions separated by one week.
