In recent years, along with the development of society, several new phenomena related to the family have emerged, such as not having children and living together without marriage. This article focuses on clarifying these conceptions across different age groups. The survey was conducted using questionnaires with 260 participants in the young, middle-aged, and elderly groups. The results show that the younger group is more aware of and more accepting of new family trends than the middle-aged and elderly groups. All three groups show low levels of agreement with phenomena such as living together without marriage, working full-time, or divorce when children are too young, especially among the middle-aged and elderly groups. These findings demonstrate changes in conceptions of the family, helping different age groups better understand and accept each other’s values, as well as suggesting appropriate recommendations in the current context.
