  • Dr. Steven Mintz is an expert on the American family in the 1960s. In this clip he talks about the fundamental split between working class family young people and middle-class college educated young people. It sounds in some ways just like the split over Donald Trump Maga today. You can find other clips by him on my UA-cam channel. #maga #vietnam #Collegestudents #bluecollar #1960s @generationgap #davidhoffman

    "Prior to the 1970s, the dominant view of the family at adolescence was one that emphasized the nature and function of parent-adolescent conflicts. *Psychological perspectives on family relationships at adolescence emphasized the need for children to separate themselves from parents, and suggested that parent-child conflicts grew out of adolescents’ need to detach emotionally from parents or parental figures. Parents were told to expect oppositionalism and defiance from their teenagers and to worry if these factors were not present. The absence of conflict was seen as indicative of stunted development. Teenagers who were en route to healthy adulthood had to disengage from parents in order to forge an identity of their own. "
    "[...] *Parents were told to accept their adolescents’ rebellion,* identity experimentation, and drive for emotional autonomy as normal and to be supportive in their role as the object of the adolescent’s disaffection. "
    "During the late 1960s and early 1970s, these ideas came under attack by *a number of empirical studies that challenged the view that conflict was desirable, or even typical.* Between 1966 and 1972, several studies of community samples of adolescents, drawn from schools rather than clinics, were published (e.g., Douvan & Adelson, 1966; Kandel & Lesser, 1972; Offer, 1969). *These studies found that approximately 75% of teenagers reported having happy and pleasant relationships with their parents. If detachment, identity struggle, and individuation were taking place, they did not seem to be taking their toll on the family.* In 1976, Rutter and colleagues (Rutter, Graham, Chadwick, & Yule, 1976) put the proverbial nail in the “storm-and-stress” coffin by showing that not only was the 75% estimate on target, but that *most of the remaining 25% of families had histories of family difficulty that preceded their children’s entry into adolescence.* In other words, the evidence did not support the theory that familial storm and stress emerged in adolescence in most families. Moreover, as work by Greenberger et al. (Josselson, Greenberger, & McConochie, 1977a, 1977b) would show, adolescent mental health was found to be better in families with close, nonconflictive, parent-child relationships. "
    *"The usual explanation for the discrepancy between these studies and the earlier accounts was that the original writings had come from clinicians’ reports, whereas the newer studies drew their conclusions from studies of community samples.* *The error was in taking findings based on observations about families of psychologically troubled teenagers and generalizing them to the population as a whole.* That is, while storm and stress may be the norm in families of teenagers with depression or conduct disorder, *conflict is not normative in average families.* As one whose career was just starting out around the time that these notions were finding their way into the literature, this was the party line that I was taught, and that I would teach my students over the next 2 decades. "
    "There is a parallel story with regard to theories about intergenerational conflict. *By the late 1960s, the concept of the generation gap had become firmly entrenched in the collective conscious of American society.* It seemed that every other issue of Time or Life featured on the cover a long-haired, dope-smoking, adolescent demonstrator glaring into the equally angry eyes of a Midwestern factory worker. *We were told that a generation fascinated with sex, drugs, and rock and roll was clashing head on with an older generation dedicated to certain unalienable responsibilities: patriotism, hard work, and chastity.* As with research that questioned the notion that family conflict was normative, however, research on attitudes and values questioned the notion that intergenerational conflict was pervasive. By the mid-1970s, *the hyperbolic views of the generation gap promulgated by the mass media were dismissed by social scientists as overblown* (Conger, 1981)."
    "Despite scientists’ uneasiness with the storm-and-stress view, the public seemed unwilling to buy this more temperate view of things. *There has remained a dramatic disjunction between what is being said in academic circles and what is being sold to parents through the popular media. Authors of contemporary advice books aimed at parents of teenagers continue to portray the adolescent period as a difficult one. Teenagers are puzzling, troublesome, angry, and ungrateful. They are to be approached with fear and trepidation. The next time you visit your local bookseller, take a look at the titles in the childrearing section. You’ll find dozens of books on how to love your cuddly infant alongside their companion guides on how to survive your spiteful teenager."*

    This is so true, and was a forecast, in fact, for what our politics has become today.

    Yes, very accurate and every generation will shift. As I looked back music was the biggest generation gap with my parents in the 60’s

    Hmm, I grew up in a "traditional blue-collar, union job earning" family. And my parents were against the Vietnam war from the beginning as were about half the people in my neighborhood. My father fought in WW2 and he knew the horrors of war. He did not want my brothers to go through that for a useless conflict that didn't seem to have a direct impact on the USA, unlike WW2 which consumed Europe. That was also the opinion of the members of the community (a mix of WW2 and Korean war vets) so not all opponents of the Vietnam war were from affluent, college educated families.

    Basically true. The vast majority of adults were more traditional. College kids were the ones who turned on the war and the establishment. For good reason.

    OK, I'm from that generation so I'll offer my take. Our parents were born shortly before, or during the great depression. Then came World War Two. These people were determined that their children would never, ever, have to endure the challenges they faced. A worthy goal, for sure. But it backfired. They produced a generation of spoiled brats.

    My dad said different I had a friend who wasn't a hippie but she lived in that time she said it was bad with drug use and they were like woodstock out in the open having sex naked no clothes at times she said everything that my dad said was right because she saw it and lived through it and videos prove this man is not correct I don't know if he's lying trying down play it or glamourize it like they did with my 80s generation but he has to know he's telling untruth he's old enough to know what really happened.
