摘要：Intergenerational differences are the differences in the perception of the members of two generations co-residingtogether for years under one shelter. The study aimed to investigate the differences in the perceived conflict as reported by themembers of the two generations co-residing viz. fathers-in-law, mothers-in-law comprising first generation and sons and daughters-in-law comprising second generation. A sample of 240 respondents (N=60 families) was selected comprising of fathers-in-law(30), mothers-in-law (30), sons (30) and daughters-in-law (30) drawn from the families where daughter-in-law was working,thus making a sample of 120 respondents from families with working daughter-in-law (n1=30 families). In the same manner,120 respondents were drawn from families where daughter-in-law was non-working (n2= 30 families). All the four memberswere interviewed and dyads were analyzed to investigate intergenerational differences. Results showed that all the members of'non-working' daughter-in-law families reported more conflict in their families in comparison to those from 'working' daughter-in-law families
