    Area of Science:

    • Psychology
    • Sociology
    • Public Health

    Background:

    • Inter-generational conflict is a recognized issue in families, particularly concerning adolescents.
    • Previous clinical observations suggest inter-generational conflict is prominent in psychiatric patient populations.
    • Understanding the dynamics of family conflict is crucial for mental health research.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the prevalence and correlates of inter-generational conflict in secondary school families.
    • To compare inter-generational conflict with intra-generational conflict within families.
    • To explore the relationship between family conflict and general health symptoms.

    Main Methods:

    • Utilized the scaled version of the General Health Questionnaire (GHQ-28).

  • Employed a questionnaire assessing attitudes related to inter-generational conflict.
  • Measured parent-pupil conflict as inter-generational and inter-parental conflict as intra-generational.

    • Main Results:

    • Inter-generational (parent-pupil) conflict was significantly more prevalent than intra-generational (inter-parental) conflict.
    • Parent-student conflict was elevated in families with female students, Kuwaiti students, or students with less educated fathers.
    • A trend for increased GHQ symptoms with higher inter-generational conflict was not statistically significant.

    Conclusions:

    • Inter-generational conflict is a significant issue in secondary school families, exceeding intra-generational conflict.
    • Specific student demographics (gender, nationality, paternal education) are associated with higher parent-student conflict.
    • The study highlights a discrepancy between clinical observations and empirical findings regarding conflict and mental health symptoms.
