Tensions in the Parent and Adult Child Relationship: Links to Solidarity and Ambivalence

This research is trying to contribute to intergenerational literature in various ways. Unlike previous studies that explained the tension and / or exclusion of a father and son, we included an assessment of tension among mothers, fathers, and their mature older children. In addition, I studied tension, agreement of emotions, relevance of contradiction. This investigation examines two problems.

1) Do relationships and personal tension differ depending on the relationship among generations, sex of parents, gender of adult children, and age of adult children?

Based on qualitative research on developmental interests and divisions and qualitative studies on previous tensions, parents reported stronger tension than adults' children (afraid of child independence), adult children are stronger than parents (Clark et al., 1999; Fingerman, 1996) predict that we will report relationships (parents are concerned with greater investment in alliances; Furthermore, according to the literature on gender and conflicts between parents and children, we predict that there is a strong tension for mothers and daughters' daughters rather than fathers and sons. We also predict that senior adult children will report less stress due to increased autonomy and reduced contact for adult children.

2) Is human relations and personal tension related to the quality of human relations (emotional agreement and ambiguity)?

Since human relations tension is related to the problem of global double interaction rather than the actions of the two members, we suggest that family members report less unity and higher ambivalence I predict that I will report tense strain. I think that the relationship between the tension of human relations and the quality of human relations will be greater than the relationship between the individual's tension and the quality of human relations.

Researchers on the relationship between parents and adult children have different opinions. On the other hand, people of human development tend to adopt a positive attitude towards intergenerational relations by emphasizing strong emotions and intergenerational solidarity. In such an environment, parents are a source of potential help while children are experiencing the divorce process. And it can alleviate stress inherent in this large change in family life. On the other hand, other researchers (Hess and Waring, 1978) talk about the inherent tension and constraints of parents and adult children in normal times, but this may be expanded during the divorce process. Discovery of contradiction between love and attachment and conflict of tension and conflict may reflect a major change in the process of divorce and the reorganization of a child's family.

Age and gender are factors that affect the relationship between parents and adults' children. In subsequent life, people with adult children discovered that divorce has a considerable influence on the quality and contact of parentage relationship (Johnson 1988b). The adverse effect between the father and the child is greater than the adverse effect between the mother and the child. If a divorced father is living and living with a child, they will not be as depressed as their father (Shapiro and Lambert, 1999; Schone and Pezzin, 1999). The age of a father who is always divorced adversely affects the care and economic relationship between the parent and the child. Similarly, studies by Teresa Cooney and Peter Uhlenberg (1990) show that divorced men have long-term adverse effects on the frequency of contact between elderly men and their children and that children are likely to be considered potential caregivers It is low.

Even if they invest more money and tangible goods in a casual dating relationship, children of adult men of divorced parents got more ambiguity about participating in love than men of the whole family indicate. Women have such ambiguity, they indicate a lack of conflict, doubt, confidence in the kindness of the other party, and they pay little attention to continuous commitment. The unmarried adolescent's mother, expectation of refusal of interpersonal relationships and divorce seems to maintain a negative attitude towards men dripping from parents.
