The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between parent-child role reversal and the child’s trait guilt by using quantitative analysis. A total of 207 university students responded to a questionnaire consisting of the Parent-Child Relationship Role Reversal Inventory (P-CRRRI), and the Trait Guilt Scale (TGS). To examine the relationship between role reversal and trait guilt, multiple regression analysis, cluster analysis and ANOVA were conducted. Multiple regression analysis showed that the child’s providing emotional support to his/her parent had a relatively strong effect on his/her trait guilt. Cluster analysis and ANOVA revealed that those who were categorized into the role reversal causing group had higher scores than those who into other group in the total guilt, the intrapsychic guilt, and the guilt for relational maintenance. As a whole, trait guilt was influenced by role reversal, and “child’s guilt due to role reversal” was characterized by the intra-psychic guilt and the guilt for relational maintenance.
