This study examines whether the distinctive characteristics of 3 aspects of Chinese family culture (values-beliefs, power structure, and communication patterns) identified in a literature review have changed. All members (97 participants) of 24 intact families residing in northern Taiwan were interviewed about their daily interactions and solutions to conflict. Analysis revealed: (1) Some beliefs and values were still highly maintained, including striving for achievement and virtue in order to manifest family prosperity, and emphasizing self-inhibition, modesty, courtesy, submission to seniors, and mutual cooperation for family harmony. (2) The male superiority power structure has somewhat declined, although role obligations are sti1l highly evident. (3) Some communication patterns that rely on nonverbal communication and taken-for-granted knowledge, or on passive and indirect strategies for handling conflict were strongly maintained. (4) Parent-child discrepancies in expectations for school performance and moral conduct are the 2 main sources of parent-child conflict. A systemic perspective is applied to consider the impact of changes in Taiwanese family culture on family members’ interactions.
