Abstract
In Part 2 the results of the investigation into the conditions and factors influencing communication between grandparents and grandchildren living together have been reported. The subjects of the research were the same ones as in Part 1.
The results are as follows :
1) The condition of the communication : The great percentage of grandchildren took at least one meal a day with their grandparents and the great percentage of grandchildren and grandparents gave and took gifts from other. However, only a small percentage of grandchildren went out and shopped with their grandparents or talked with them seriously about various matters. As compared with communication between grandchildren and grandparents living apart, the greater percentage of grandchildren living together gave and took gifts and demonstrated some knowledge of their grandparents' hobbies, but only a percentage actually talked over matters with their grandparents and listened seriously what grandparents said.
2) Factors influencing the communication : Factors include the sex and the age of grandchildren and grandparents, and the degree of joint circumstances, houses and household affairs with parents and grandparents and the balance of powers between parents and grandparents.
