Reminiscencia, Reminiscencias autopositivas, Intergeneracionalidad, Abuelos, Nietos, MéxicoResumen
La reminiscencia es relevante dentro de las relaciones intergeneracionales entre abuelos y nietos. Este estudio cualitativo exploratorio se llevó a cabo en México, con el objetivo de profundizar en la comprensión de la memoria positiva de las nietas sobre sus abuelos. Se llevó a cabo una discusión de grupo focal con 12 participantes: seis tenían entre 22 y 23 años, mientras que los otros seis tenían entre 42 y 57 años. Los datos fueron sometidos a análisis temático. Los principales hallazgos sugieren que las nietas recuerdan de manera positiva a sus abuelos, principalmente con respecto a la identidad al "obtener sentimientos de autoestima" e "impulsar la continuidad y el cambio". Este campo merece una mayor investigación, ya que puede revelar la influencia de los abuelos en los nietos a lo largo de la vida.
