Abstract

The authors deal with the inter-generation solidarity under conditions of taking care of seniors who are not self-sufficient. They were particularly focused on studying one aspect of the family solidarity concept: solidarity of agreement.

They tried to combine conflict and consensual attitudes to this problem and thus to characterize the nature of conflicts and harmony in families taking care of seniors. The target of the study was mapping of relationships between the life harmony and manifested conflicts between persons providing and accepting the care and finding differences in this field between families taking care of seniors under different conditions.
