The relation between grandparents and grandchildren in "family relations" is important to Japanese. However, we still know virtually nothing about the conditions of their communication in detail, such as frequency and quality of contacts. These papers have picked up such data regarding mutual communication and have reported the results in relation to living arrangements in a city in Hokuriku district. In Part 1 communicative conditions and factors influencing communication between grandparents and grandchildren living apart are reported. The subjects of the research were students ranging from the fifth grade of elementary schools to the third grade of junior high schools and their guardians in a city in Hokuriku district. The results are as follow : 1) The condition of the communication : Parents of the grandchildren were on more intimate terms with grandparents than grandchildren were, and were most frequently responsible for initiating contact with grandparents. Grandchildren more often visited grandparents than viceversa, while grandparents more often telephoned and gave gifts to their grandchildren. 2) Factors influencing the communication : Factors include the family composition, mutual support in terms of living expenses, mutual care during sickness, grandparents' custodial care of grandchildren and the sex, age and school grade of grandchildren.
