Objectives: The purpose of this study is to identify the influence of parentification and anxiety attachment on interpersonal relationship problems among early adult grandchildren in multigenerational households.
Methods: The study was conducted on 209 participants coming from multigenerational households aged 18 to 29 living in China, and the collected data were analyzed using SPSS 23.0 and SPSS PROCESS macro 3.3
Results: First, the grandchildren have experienced extensive parentification, have formed anxiety attachment, and have faced problems in interpersonal relationships. Second, parentification and anxiety attachment had significant effects on interpersonal problems, and a partial mediating effect of anxiety attachment was confirmed in the relationship between parentification and interpersonal problems.
Conclusions: This study suggests that it is necessary to pay attention to the parentification and interpersonal relationships and to develop meaningful programs for multigenerational households.
