The present study purposed to verify the interaction effect between how old parents’ dependency on their adult children affect conflict between the parents and the children, and the adult children’s memory of being abused in their childhood and their filial obligation. In addition, we analyzed whether the relation is different according to the type of parent?child relationship, namely, father?son, father?daughter, mother?son and mother?daughter relationships. According to the results of analysis, conflict with old parents was statistically significantly affected by the type of parent?child relationship, children’s gender, old parents’ dependency, experience of emotional abuse, filial obligation, etc. In addition, there were differences in the effect of old parents’ dependency on conflict with old parents according to experience of emotional abuse and instrumental filial obligation. What is more, differences were observed according to the type of parent?child relationship in factors influencing conflict with old parents and interaction effect among the factors. Accordingly, in order to improve the relationship between adult children and their old parents, we need to make political interventions for reducing old parents’ physical, economic and social dependency on their adult children, and develop practical intervention strategies and social support systems for promoting desirable parent?child relationship from childhood and for maintaining and enhancing filial obligation deeply rooted in Korean people’s value system.
