Abstract / Description of output

The grandchild/grandparent relationship has had limited attention in consumer socialization research. This interpretivist study of 16 grandparents and 40 children contributes to understanding grandchild/grandparent socialization and consumption practices highlighting the role of goal-driven, reverse and reciprocal socialization, the development of private communications networks, establishing family roles and generational ‘othering’ in the digital world.
