This study analyzed how assets of the elderly affect relationship satisfaction with their children. It is, also, analyzed if face-to-face meeting and contact frequence and financial supports exist as mediating effects between the assets and relationship satisfaction. In order to analyze these study questions, study hypotheses which deducted from social exchange theory and the strategic bequest motive hypotheses were examined. From the 4th KloSa data, 1,754 cases which were suitable with the study purpose were used. The results are as follows. First, the hypothesis “the more assets the elderly have, the more relationship satisfaction degree is” was statistically supported. Second, the hypothesis “the assets of the elderly positively affect face-to-face meeting and contact frequence and financial supports” was statistically supported. Third, contact frequence and financial supports positively affected relationship satisfaction although face-to-face meeting frequence didn t. Lastly, contact frequence with their children and financial supports had mediating effects between the assets of the elderly and relationship satisfaction with their children. Therefore, this study suggests political effort to build and accumulate elderly assets, and asset management to prepare for people’s old ages. Effort for the elderly as well as their children to raise contact frequency is also suggested.
