Abstract
We examined the wear-and-tear hypothesis using data from 4 annual
interviews with 130 (128 White) middle-aged daughters caring for
their physically impaired, elderly mothers. We formulated a latent
growth curve model hypothesizing that increases in the amount of
care given by daughters caused a decrease in caregiving satisfaction,
independent of caregiving duration. We found considerable individual
variability and change in both caregiving satisfaction and the amount
of care given in univariate latent growth curve analyses. Contrary
to the wear-and-tear hypothesis, a multivariate latent growth curve
analysis revealed duration of caregiving had no effect on either
initial caregiving satisfaction or change in satisfaction. An elaborated
wear-and-tear model was supported, however. The mechanism for decline
in satisfaction is an increase in the amount of care given.
