很高興與大家分享我們近期發表於《婚姻與家庭期刊》（Journal of Marriage and Family）的研究成果！
我們深入訪談香港40個三代家庭的祖父母、父母及成年子女，共120人，從生命歷程視角探討三代人的人生轉變如何相互牽動，影響代際關係的發展。
研究提出以「一致與落差」（alignment–misalignment）為核心的三代關係框架。家庭關係不能單以「和諧」或「衝突」概括，也並非一成不變。關鍵不只在於家人意見是否相同，更在於他們如何辨識、理解及回應彼此轉變中的需要、角色與期望，並持續協商當中的一致與落差。
• 團結，不等於事事一致： 即使理解與付出不同，家人仍可互相協調，形成彼此認可的照顧與支持，維繫緊密關係。
• 矛盾，不只是愛與怨並存： 願意照顧，不代表能無限承擔。家人仍可透過調整期望、界定責任及選擇性溝通，容納未解的落差，維繫關係。
• 衝突，不只是意見不合： 當照顧分工不公已被察覺卻難以改善、付出未獲認可，或權威限制協商空間時，落差可能加劇，令關係更難修復。
這些協商貫穿照顧、責任、互惠、資源、權威及溝通等家庭生活範疇。家庭內部的情感連結、共同經歷與相互依賴，以及孝道觀念、性別照顧規範、住屋與照顧條件等文化及社會結構現實，並非單純的背景，而是兩股共同塑造代際關係的力量。它們既可能加深張力，也可能為協調差異及修復關係提供資源與空間。

Pleased to share our new article in the Journal of Marriage and Family!
Drawing on separate in-depth interviews with 120 participants from 40 three-generation Hong Kong Chinese families, we explore how intergenerational relationships develop across linked lives over the life course.
Our study develops a triadic relational framework showing how family members navigate alignment and misalignment as they recognize, interpret, and respond to one another's changing needs, roles, and expectations.
Solidarity does not require consensus: different perspectives and contributions can be coordinated into meaningful care and support. Ambivalence goes beyond mixed feelings: care remains meaningful but can become difficult to sustain; families contain unresolved tensions by adjusting expectations, setting limits, and communicating selectively. Conflict is more than disagreement: misalignment can intensify when unequal care burdens are recognized but not redistributed, sacrifices go unrecognized, or authority limits adjustment and repair.
Relational grounding and Hong Kong's cultural-structural realities give these negotiations emotional, historical, moral, and practical weight, shaping families' capacity to navigate differences, repair relationships, and sustain family ties over time.
