  text: "This study investigates how different factors in regard to intergenerational
    relationships are associated with emotional support\r\ngiven by adults to their
    parents. The analysis focuses on adult children and their parents in a representative
    German sample.\r\nData were obtained from the second wave of the German Family
    Panel (pairfam) consisting of 2064 women and 1841 men.\r\nResults show that transfer
    of emotional support by the adult children was especially associated not only
    with received emotional support from parents, but also with affection, conflicts,
    and expectations concerning parents. A moderator analysis\r\nfocuses on gender
    and showed differences for the association between given support by adults and
    conflicts between mothers\r\nand fathers. For the offspring, no gender effects
    were found."
