By employing generational experience approach, the authors have concluded that the experiences of the Islamic revolution and the Iran-Iraq war have been the central part in the divergences and convergences of age groups in Iran today.
According to the findings of this study different generations can be categorized in proportion with the relations they have with the abovementioned experiences as follows L i) pre-revolution, ii) involved in revolution and war, iii) entangled with war, iv) with sound and clear memory from the war, and v) lacking sound and clear memory from the war. This study examines values and attitudes of gen¬erational groups in face-to-face, the generalized social spheres and institutional interactions. The findings do not approve value and attitude conflicts between gen¬erational groups, nevertheless it does make the role of generational experiences prominent in the differences found among different generations.
