The purposes of this research were to find out general trends of parent-youth similarities in family value orientations, to investigate the differences in related variables and to estimate the generational influences on family value orientations. For this study, three sets of questionnaire were used and the data were obtained through 267 triads of father, mother and their adolescent child living in Seoul and Kwangju. Fathers` value orientations were the most traditional and adolescents` were the least. Especially value orientations of marriage, children and sex-role were largely changed between generations but caregiving consciouness and familism was relatively preserved even in adolescents. The variables which showed differences in family value orientations were sociodemographic and family relationship variables as educational level, child`s gender, birth order and parent-child satisfaction. In correlation between parents and adolescents, it revealed that mother-daughter dyad was considerably connected. In conclusion, mother`s value, child`s gender and family life satisfaction have strong effects on adolescent`s family value orientations.
