Název v původním jazyce

Significant loss in old age sibling as a source of social support

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

Siblinghood is undoubtedly the longest lasting family bond in the life of most people, and siblings have a specific role in the life of almost every individual. It is a historically and biographically “proven” relationship, accompanying the individual from childhood, through pubescence, adulthood and old age to death. Sibling relationships are particularly important for seniors who have been deprived of other kinds of family relationships, for example, for single, childless, widowed, and divorced seniors. The value of siblinghood grows in importance with the increasing age, common family experiences and shared history that is unique and irreproducible in other types of relationships. Siblings often become companions and confidants to each other. The article reflects the importance of siblinghood in old age in the context of the developmental stage theories and the theoretic perspective of life cycle. While the evolutionary theory emphasizes emotional ties, mutual emotional attachment and meaningfulness perceived by seniors in relation to their siblings, the life cycle theory describes siblinghood in a wider context, including the instrumental and expressive dimensions. The article presents partial results of a qualitative research of siblinghood within the project titled Graying Siblinghood. Sociological Study of Siblinghood in Late Adulthood Funded by the Grant Agency of the Czech Republic (GA CR).
