The chapter summarises research on intergenerational conflict with a focus on European studies. The results are integrated in the theoretical approaches of intergenerational solidarity and intergenerational ambivalence. The author discusses the meaning of intergenerational conflict against the background of individuals’ life-long striving for a balance between autonomy and relatedness. Therefore, the role of developmental tasks and transitions which are specific for adult children and their parents in different phases of adulthood are outlined.

Keywords:   intergenerational solidarity, ambivalence, adulthood, conflict resolution style, cross-cultural psychology
