It finds that disagreements and disputes between family members of different generations existed in all families. Most families managed to reconcile the tension across generations via three main mechanisms emotional buffering, middle-personal mediation, and formalized democracy. Emotional buffering refers to the ways in which disputes and conflicts are ameliorated by affective relations between family members. When emotional ties between particular members break or are yet to be established, the middle-person mediates to help build good relations between them or resolve the disputes and conflicts. Formalized democracy also works in families where family members obtain recognition and respect from others by democratize the decision making process of family affairs %U http://src.ruc.edu.cn/CN/abstract/abstract203.shtml
