Generationenbeziehungen im Kulturvergleich

  • Chapter
Psychologie – Kultur – Gesellschaft

Zusammenfassung

Die Eltern-Kind-Beziehungen im Erwachsenenalter wurden von der entwicklungspsychologischen Forschung lange stiefmütterlich behandelt, vorrangig befasst(e) sich die Forschung mit der Kindheit und Jugend. Das mittlere Erwachsenenalter galt lange Zeit als Phase der Stagnation, das Alter wurde vor allem in Hinblick auf Abbauprozesse betrachtet. Auch in anderen Disziplinen wie der Soziologie wurde zunächst die Eltern-Kind-Beziehung im Erwachsenenalter vernachlässigt. Hier lenkte z.B. die Vorstellung der „isolierten Kernfamilien“, die mit der Industrialisierung und der Trennung von Arbeits- und Familienwelt aufkam (Parsons, 1951), den Blick auf den Verbund von Vater, Mutter und Kind(ern). Nach dem Auszug der Kinder schien deren Beziehung zu den Eltern vernachlässigbar, da sie nun selbst eine Familie gründeten und die Verbindung zu den Eltern weitgehend abbrechen würden.
