Abstract:
In this study, children reported on the care they provided for a parent, their parent’s general accommodation, their parent’s group-based identity accommodation, and their own depressive symptoms. Group-based identity accommodation moderated the associations between instrumental care and depressive symptoms, more so than general accommodation. The positive associations between the provision of care and depressive symptoms were most pronounced when children experienced low levels of parental group-based identity accommodation. Findings are discussed in terms of their implications for communication accommodation theory and identity scholarship.
