OBJECTIVE: Aging parents may respond to advice or help with daily problems from
their grown children by insisting, resisting, or persisting in their ways or
opinions, behaviors which are commonly viewed as stubbornness. Research has not
examined how frequently such behaviors occur and what factors are associated with
these behaviors. METHODS: Middle-aged adults and parents (N = 189 dyads) reported
the prevalence of parental behaviors attributed to stubbornness. Utilizing
hierarchical linear regression and multilevel modeling this exploratory study
examined the association of parent stubbornness with individual and
relationship-based characteristics and concordance in reports within dyads.
RESULTS: Over 77% of children and 66% of parents reported parents acting in ways
attributed to stubbornness at least sometimes. Children reported higher levels of
parental stubbornness than parents self-reported. Children's perceptions of
occurrence were related to parent disability and relationship characteristics,
while parents' self-reports were associated with their own personalities.
Discrepancies in reports between parents and children were associated with child
and parent characteristics. DISCUSSION: This novel exploration demonstrated that
individual and relationship-based factors are linked to the perceived expression
of stubbornness by parents and that there is discordance in perceptions within
families. Findings suggest a need for intervention to increase understanding
within families.
