The Purpose of this study was to explore the generational conflicts around adult children's taking care of elderly parents and grandparents' caring for grand children. The results of this study were as follows. First, the child care responsibility of the parents' generation is much more intense than that of the parent care responsibility of the children's generation. Second, the norm of parent care has changed from being the responsibility of the eldest son to being the responsibility of all of the children, which had led to an increased probability of conflicts between the two generations due to the differences in expectation and reward. Third, the bilateralization of the kinship increases the responsibility of women in taking care of their families, which leads to an increase in conflict among women of different generations. Finally, the generational conflicts related to family care appear across different social classes.

this study examined the correlates of adult attachment focused on internal working models of 201 housewives. Findings indicated that 68.3% of subjects were classified as secure whereas 27.5% as avoidant and 4.2% as anxious. Greater security was associated with slightly less avoidance while greater anxiousness was associated with slightly greater avoidance. That is subjects who possessed more security tended to be less avoidant while subjects who possessed more anxiousness tended to be more avoidant. The primary characteristics classifying subjects into those three attachment styles were feelings about closeness dependence and anxiousness in relationships with others. Adult attachment was related in theoretically expected ways to one's history of attachment and parenting. Secure subjects were more likely to report warm/responsive parental caregiving style than insecure styles. Insecure subjects in comparison with secure subjects perceived their mothers as cold inconsistent and ot very responsive. Anxious subjects dscribed their fathers as cold and rejecting. The secure attachment style in comparsion with insecure styles was associated with positive mental models of self and social world indicating greater self-esteem positive beliefs about self and others positive relationships with their children greater marital satisfaction and greater secure attachment to their husbands. These results suggest that internal working model offers a useful perspective on adult attachment.

The purpose of this review is to present the basic concepts of attachment theory and temperament traits and to discuss the integration of these concepts into parenting practices. Attachment is a basic human need for a close and intimate relationship between infants and their caregivers. Responsive and contingent parenting produces securely attached children who show more curiosity, self-reliance, and independence. Securely attached children also tend to become more resilient and competent adults. In contrast, those who do not experience a secure attachment with their caregivers may have difficulty getting along with others and be unable to develop a sense of confidence or trust in others. Children who are slow to adjust or are shy or irritable are likely to experience conflict with their parents and are likely to receive less parental acceptance or encouragement, which can make the children feel inadequate or unworthy. However, the influence of children's temperament or other attributes may be mitigated if parents adjust their caregiving behaviors to better fit the needs of the particular child. Reflecting on these arguments and our childhood relationships with our own parents can help us develop the skills needed to provide effective guidance and nurturance.

This study attempted to explore how middle aged married men and women prospected a Centenarian society and what implications their prospect cast for family policy. We conducted focus group interviews with five groups in order to identify their subjective prospects on marital relations, parent-child relations, caregiving from family or institutions, and alternative living arrangement. From those interviews, we found that married men and women in their 40s, 50s, and 60s possessed ambivalent attitudes toward their marital relationship, either acknowledging an importance of marital relationship or accepting long-standing disrespectful marital relationship. They also had a dualistic perspective on parent-child relationship, accepting parental responsibility for children and even grand-children but maintaining low expectations for children. What they needed was age appropriate opportunities for work or leisure and better community services and facilities. These results showed that the middle-aged was concerned experiencing unprecedented family situations. They needed family life education and services in order to adapt to the Centenarian society. Since family policy has viewed this age group out of service target, programs and services have been underdeveloped for this group. Expecting a Centenarian society however, we need to expand the boundary of family policy and take a new perspective. We need to develop and implement marital education programs, community-based self-care services, and age-appropriated opportunities for work, leisure, and social relations.

본 연구는 기혼 성인남녀 410명을 대상으로 노부모에 대한 성인자녀의 양가감정을 탐색하는 것을 목적으로 하였다. 이를 위해 양가감정을 묻는 직접측정 방식의 척도를 개발하고 그 다음 직접측정과 간접측정 간의 관계를 살펴보았다. 그 다음 성별에 따라 부모특성, 자녀특성, 관계특성이 노부모에 대한 성인자녀의 양가감정에 미치는 영향에 대해 조사하였다. 먼저 양가감정 직접측정 척도 개발을 위해 탐색적 요인분석과 문항반응이론 분석을 실시하여 최종 9개의 문항을 선정하였다. 직접측정과 간접측정 간의 상관관계는 부모와 자녀 성별에 따라 r=.54(p<.000)에서 r=.62(p<.000) 범위를 나타내었다. 친밀감, 갈등, 관계만족도에 직·간접측정이 미치는 영향력은 아들, 딸 모두 갈등에는 간접측정의 영향력이 더 크고, 친밀감과 만족도는 직접측정의 영향력이 더 큰 것으로 나타났다. 부모특성, 자녀특성, 관계특성이 양가감정에 미치는 영향에 대해서는 전반적으로 간접측정보다 직접측정의 설명량이 높게 나타났으며, 아들의 경우 어머니에 대해서는 부양의무감이, 아버지에 대해서는 가치관이 가장 큰 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 딸은 어머니에 대해서는 본인 나이, 아버지에 대해서는 아버지 나이가 가장 큰 영향력을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 이러한 결과들은 서구 및 중국의 연구결과와 비교했을 때 유사성 및 차별성을 모두 가지고 있으므로 한국적 상황에서 부모-자녀관계에서 양가감정이 가지는 의미에 대해 논의되었다.
