The first part of the questionnaire was consisted of the General Characteristics Questionnaire and Questionnaire on the Frequency of Providing Social Support (Abbey et al., 1985). The second part of the questionnaire in the form of 6 open questions serves to gather additional information on the participants' perception of the reasons for possible different engagement and availability of support by their adult children.
