Abstract :

rnity has been accompanied by great cultural, economic, social and political developments. One of the most important changes in modern society can be seen in what is known as the difference between today's and the previous generation or the generation gap. In this article, we try to identify the cultural changes of religious values ​​and family values ​​in the values ​​of two generations of parents and children and provide solutions to eliminate its negative effects on families and society. Relying on the most important sociological theories such as Inglehart's theory of cultural change and Parsons' theory of action, this article examines religious norms and values ​​and family norms and values. The fieldwork in Isfahan was conducted using a survey method and using a questionnaire technique. To validate the questionnaire, two types of content and formal validity were used and Cronbach's alpha test was used to calculate the reliability. The sample size was 590 and the statistical population included parents (over 35 years) and young people (15 to 30 years). Sample volume in 15 districts of Isfahan is filled by age, sex and area of ​​residence. Sampling was performed by proportional quota method. Descriptive statistical methods (mean and standard deviation) have been used for analysis and at the level of inferential statistics, confirmatory factor analysis and structural equations and T test with two independent groups have been used. There is a relationship between religious norms and values ​​and family norms and values ​​between today's and past generations (youth and their parents). So, in general, we conclude that the cultural changes of religious values ​​and family values ​​of young people and their parents in Isfahan are different
