“…Interestingly, sometimes adherence to family values and norms were found to enhance stress and burden related to caregiving for elder parents, whereas other times they were related with higher life satisfaction. As Davey and Takagi (2013) suggest, a possible explanation for the sometimes negative and sometimes positive connotations of family values and norms might in fact refer to their origin and source. Referring to familism -the prioritizing of family over individual needs, closely related to the concept of filial responsibility -these authors distinguish between obligatory and voluntary components, as well as between fluidity and flexibility in practicing it.…”

Starting from Bengtson's solidarity paradigm, we will investigate the role of internalized family norms in intergenerational support as well as experienced ambivalence from the adult child perspective. We assume that internalized family norms are an important determinant of relationship regulation as they have an impact both on the selection of specific behavior as well as on its evaluation. As a consequence, own and others' behavior should be most positively evaluated if it is in line with internalized norms and values. In contrast, if intergenerational solidarity and support exchange do not converge with internalized norms and expectations, ambivalence might be experienced. These assumptions are examined in a sample of N = 131 middle-aged adults living in Luxembourg and Germany. Findings showed that normative aspects of intergenerational solidarity were less important compared to affective aspects when predicting support exchange between adult children and their parents; however, family values had a moderating role in the relation between support exchange and ambivalence. Results are discussed with respect to the centrality of values in implicitly and explicitly guiding support behavior within families.

Increased mobility, longevity, and unpredictability in family forms has led to the emergence of complex relationships, diverse family structures, and interdependent family roles. In an attempt to capture the structure, process, and context of family dynamics through these different stages of the life course – childhood, adolescence, young adulthood, midlife, and later life – studies of intergenerational relationships and exchanges examine what is transmitted across generations and how this transmission occurs. Four trends alter such relations: increased longevity, the global spread of economic uncertainty, mass migration, and shifting family forms. Together, these are transforming family structures.
