Abstract
We find that there are no significant differences between grandparent and parent identity meanings and that men and women are more positive about their grandparent identities than they am about other adult identity meanings. Further, grandparent identity is significantly related to well being when it is the only identity in the model but not when parent identity is included in another model. Finally, intergenerational family identity is positively related to well-being.
