Abstract

The aging population is becoming a growing concern worldwide, and adult child-parent travel plays a positive role in active aging. Previous studies on family travel with aging parents focused on adult children's perceptions of conflicts during travel, neglecting the influences of daily intergenerational relationships on pre-travel and post-travel behaviors. This study builds upon the solidarity-conflict model to investigate the effects of daily intergenerational relationships on pre-travel (e.g., travel motivation) and post-travel behaviors (e.g., satisfaction and well-being) of family tourists who have engaged in adult child-parent travel. Empirical findings reveal that solidarity is crucial in determining travel motivation, satisfaction, and subjective well-being, while conflict only significantly influences travel motivation. Further comparisons between the views of adult children and parents disclose differing effects of conflict on travel motivation and satisfaction, as well as how the influence of solidarity on satisfaction varies by generation. This study enhances our understanding of the spillover effect of daily intergenerational solidarity and conflict on family travel behavior and offers practical insights.

日常生活中的代际关系对成年子女和父母旅行行为的影响：两代人观点的比较研究

人口老龄化正成为全世界日益关注的问题，而成年子女与年迈父母的旅行在积极养老方面发挥着积极作用。以往关于家庭与年迈父母旅行的研究主要关注成年子女对旅行过程中冲突的看法，而忽视了日常代际关系对旅行前和旅行后行为的影响。本研究以团结-冲突模型为基础，探讨日常代际关系对参与成年子女-父母旅行的家庭游客的旅行前（如旅行动机）和旅行后行为（如满意度和幸福感）的影响。实证研究结果表明，团结在决定旅游动机、满意度和主观幸福感方面至关重要，而冲突只对旅游动机有显著影响。进一步比较成年子女和父母的观点，可以发现冲突对旅行动机和满意度的不同影响，以及团结对满意度的影响如何因代际而异。这项研究加深了我们对日常代际团结和冲突对家庭旅行行为的溢出效应的理解，并提供了实用的见解。
