Geld in intieme relaties. Afhankelijkheden tussen studenten en hun ouders

Samenvatting

Money in Intimate Relations. Interdependencies between Students and Their Parents. Interviews conducted with Dutch undergraduates (N = 15 males and 27 females aged 18-28) are used to analyze the impact of parents' financial support on the relationship of the respondent (R) with his/her parents. Findings reveal that the issue of money and financial support by parents was avoided in conversations between Rs and their parents. Rs showed contradictory attitudes toward the issue, insisting on parents' responsibility to provide them with economic assistance, but expressing guilt and a sense of obligation and indebtedness. Z.
