摘要: Studies of intergenerational solidarity in affluent societies suggest that relationships between generations consist simultaneously both emotional closeness and conflicts. This analysis extends the standard model relationships, which until now has been applied only to countries with bilineal kinship systems, culturally economically diverse areas varying systems. Latent class was measure affection conflict ongoing young middle-aged women their mothers (7,522 relationship pairs) fathers (5,338 pairs). The empirical based on standardised oral interviews from China, Indonesia, North South India, Africa, Palestine, Israel, Turkey, Russia, Estonia, Poland, East West Germany, France, Jamaica, United States (n = 8,756). best fitting differences consisted four latent classes: „amicable“ (45 percent), “detached“ (28 “ambivalent” (22 “disharmonious“ (5 percent). Based a cross-culturally largely invariant measurement model, results revealed significantly different distributions for across areas. Multinomial three-level regression used analyse complex cross-level interdependence area effects, individual characteristics, respective membership. In patrilineal societies, biological parents are more likely be ambivalent, less detached, very become disharmonious case spatial proximity. most harmonious. Whereas frequency contact decreases likelihood detached or functional exchange increases relationships.
