While family tourism has gained increasing attention from researchers, the relationship between adult children and their parents in family vacations remains an under-researched area. Drawing on role reversal theory and social exchange theory, this research examines the effects of role reversal on the well-being of adult children in family travels and with respect to “individual” and “relation” perspectives as mediating mechanisms. A quantitative-dominant concurrent nested mixed methods approach was employed. Results show that adult children can benefit from assuming the parental role in relation to their elderly parents as this reversal in roles can promote their well-being by stimulating their commitment to parents and by reducing their perceived cost of sacrifice. These effects were also moderated by their parents' confirmation.

成人、儿童、老年父母家庭旅行中的角色逆转

尽管家庭旅游越来越受到研究人员的关注，但家庭度假中成年子女与其父母之间的关系仍然是一个研究不足的领域。本研究借鉴角色反转理论和社会交换理论，以“个人”和“关系”视角作为中介机制，探讨家庭旅行中角色反转对成年子女幸福感的影响。采用了定量主导的并发嵌套混合方法。结果表明，成年子女可以从承担与年迈父母相关的父母角色中受益，因为这种角色逆转可以通过刺激他们对父母的承诺并减少他们感知的牺牲成本来促进他们的福祉。这些影响也因父母的确认而得到缓和。
