Description

University students and parents were asked to estimate the distributions of social opinions about the advantage of young generation and parent generation, separately for youth and parent populations. The respondents were also asked to describe their own opinions on the issue. First, no generation-gap was found in the estimates. The respondents estimated that the parent generation is generally considered more disadvantaged than is the young generation. This tendency was more salient in the students' estimates. Second, there were differences between the students and the parents in their own opinions. The parents rated the two generations as equally advantaged. On the other hand, the larger number of the students considered that the parent generation is more disadvantaged than is their own generation. Finally, the different time perspectives were inferred from the descriptions about the generation advantages given by the students and those by the parents. This seemed related to the generation differences in their own opinions as well as in their estimates of the distributions of social opinions.
