Abstract

Objectives: To examine the prevalence of instrumental and emotional support received and to study various sociodemographic characteristics in a Spanish population of different ages and social groups. Methods: We used the Joint Intergenerational Action instrument (ACIG), an 88-item questionnaire. The online survey was completed by 2013 participants (608 men and 1405 women) who had a mean age of 33.96 (SD = 16.01) years. Results: Instrumental support and emotional support were significantly less prevalent among older participants, men, people with a low educational level, a low level of autonomy, retirees and with a low level of income, suggesting poor social interactions in these population groups.
