Abstract
Data were collected from 140 caregivers of elderly relatives, their hu sbands, and coresident children. Lawton et al.'s (1991) parallel chann el hypothesis, which suggests that positive and negative aspects of me ntal health have differential predictors, was tested. Data from caregi vers, their husbands, and children support the hypothesized model, wit h greater interdependence of psychological process being associated wi th greater role centrality.
