Summary:碩士 === 國立臺灣師範大學 === 人類發展與家庭學系 === 100 === The research aims to investigate the connections among individual elements, intergenerational conflict, and filial piety. A questionnaire survey was carried out on a convenience sample of people recruited from the researcher’s social network. Participants had to meet the requirements for target respondents: 25- to 34-years-old, having at least one living parent, and living with one of their parents in Taipei city. Out of the 720 copies of questionnaires distributed, 593 copies were collected. The data were eliminated if the respondent did not conform to the age limit, skipped one or more questions, or did not live with his/her parents. The remaining copies comprised 398 effective samples. The research tools were composed of three parts: “intergenerational conflict scale”, “filial piety scale”, and “personal background information”. The data were analyzed with the statistic software SPSS 19.0. The statistic methods adopted included descriptive statistics, t-test, one-way ANOVA, two-way ANOVA, Pearson product-moment correlation coefficient, and regression analysis. The following conclusions can be derived from the results in two perspectives. First, the interactions of intergenerational conflicts between adult children and their parents with personal background were investigated. The results suggested that intergenerational conflicts appear most in “value and habits of life.” In sexual perspective, sons have higher frequency of intergenerational conflict than daughters, especially in "life goals" and "adult children felt unequal treatment from their parents." The people with older age, fewer brothers and sisters feel significantly less intergenerational conflicts than the ones with younger age, more brothers and sisters. Compared to unemployed children, employed children have more conflicts between their parents. For adult children with employment, better individual economy(income per month) would have less intergenerational conflicts. Second, the adult children’s attitude of parental support was the focus of research. The results indicated that adult children’s attitude of parental support is generally content with their individual elements. Among adult children analyzed, those who are elder or who are economically superior have better attitude of parental support. ”Adult children who went to graduate school” perform better in terms of “daily life assistance”, “ economic supports”, and “living arrangement” than” adult children who only enter college or specialist.” , attitude of parental support, adult children who only enter college or specialist.”
