Abstract

Adult child-parent travel is a prevalent, but understudied, phenomenon in Confucian Asian countries. To better understand how adult children evaluate such tourism experiences, this research re-conceptualizes dimensions of family interaction and examines their impacts on future adult child-parent travel intention within the mainland China context using a mixed-method approach. Guided by the McMaster model of Family Functioning, qualitative findings suggest that family interaction includes three dimensions: Communication, Affective Interaction, and Problem Solving. Additionally, analysis of data collected from 451 Chinese adult children who traveled with their parents reveals that family interaction positively influences future adult child-parent travel intention through enhanced family intimacy and increased tourist engagement. This study contributes not only to the existing literature on family travel but also provides guidance for fostering positive adult child-parent interactions, aiming to ensure the sustainable development of adult child-parent travel.

家庭互动对未来成年子女-父母旅行意向的影响：实施麦克马斯特家庭功能模型

在亚洲儒教国家，成年子女与父母的旅游是一种普遍现象，但却未得到充分研究。为了更好地了解成年子女如何评价这种旅游体验，本研究采用混合方法，重新构思了家庭互动的各个维度，并考察了这些维度对中国大陆成年子女-父母未来旅游意向的影响。在麦克马斯特家庭功能模型的指导下，定性研究结果表明，家庭互动包括三个维度：沟通、情感互动和问题解决。此外，通过分析从 451 名与父母一起旅行的中国成年子女那里收集到的数据，发现家庭互动通过增强家庭亲密感和提高游客参与度，对成年子女和父母未来的旅行意向产生积极影响。本研究不仅为现有的家庭旅游文献做出了贡献，还为促进成年子女与父母的积极互动提供了指导，旨在确保成年子女与父母旅游的可持续发展。
