Abstract: The purpose of this study was to analyze multigenerational interconnectedness among college students and their grandparents. The study used three scales, the Family Quality of Life scale (FQOL) with 16 items, Multigenerational Interconnectedness scale (MIS) with 30 items and Quality of Relationship Inventory scale (QRI) with 25 items. A total of 201 undergraduates from a State University participated in the study. The age of participants ranged from 18 to 51 years. The participants were 32% male and 68 % were female. Data was collected in a classroom setting during fall of 2018 in a college setting. The findings indicates participants who are dissatisfied with life and concerned financially scored lower on multigenerational interconnectedness and family quality of life than those who are satisfied with life. In addition, participants who are dissatisfied with life and concerned financially scored lower on quality of life except in conflict.
