Abstract
The present study examined the culture influence on children’s perception on parent-adolescent goal conflict situations. 154 Taiwanese and 134 Dutch undergraduates participated in this study. After reading a scenario of parent-adolescent conflict, participants completed questionnaires assessing their value orientations and attitude after decision. In conditions when the protagonist refused father’s suggestion, participants from both group perceived more self-oriented values. However, in conditions when father’s suggestion was accepted, Dutch participants perceived more social-oriented values. On the contrary, Taiwanese participants perceived more self-oriented values. Results show that Taiwanese participants attend more to father-adolescent relationship and tend to accept father’s suggestion, whereas their Dutch counterparts attend more mutual consensus and self-interests. These results suggest that culture-beliefs about parent and adolescent relationship may influence how its people face and resolve goal conflicts between adolescent and their fathers.
