“…Both theoretical and empirical arguments support the view that, over time, family members develop two basic but distinct "senses of influence" regarding each other (De Mol, 2007;Migerode, Buysse, Maes, De Mol, & Cook, 2012a) Migerode, Buysse, Maes, & De Mol, 2012b). On the one hand, a sense that a family member's behaviour can have a pleasant effect on another family member, and on the other hand, a sense that effects can also be unpleasant for the other family member.…”

The aim of the present study was to investigate (a) how intergenerational influence takes form within families with a child with a disability, and (b) the extent to which positive and negative influence -as perceived by family memberswithin and across generations, is predictive of family members' subjective quality of life. The study involved 60 two-parent two-child families where one of the children had a disability. Within a round-robin design, family members completed self-report measures of felt influence within their family and subjective quality of life. The main findings suggest that interpersonal influence as perceived by parents and children (a) varies as a function of valence (positive vs. negative) and target (from whom the influence is felt); and (b) is related to subjective quality of life. However, there seem to be differential effects of the distinct dimensions of influence (positive vs. negative; intergenerational vs. intragenerational) depending on whose quality of life is examined.
