Abstract
ABSTRACT Low fertility rates and an ageing population have resulted in smaller and increasingly non-nuclear Singaporean families, where the geographical proximity of nuclear and extended family members increases their accessibility to one another. This cross-sectional study of 107 adolescents from low-income families, involving five social service agencies, finds that those in two-parent households without access to a grandparent exhibit more positive development than those in single-parent households with access to a grandparent, suggesting that grandparents do not necessarily substitute absent parents. The study also demonstrates the need to evaluate different measures of family structure, quality of family ties, and grandparental needs.
期刊介绍：
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
