This study was aimed to explore face-sharing in inside-family vertical relationships, BIRG and CORF. Achievement and role-obligation events were distinguished in order to study the effects of type of events and vertical status on face, BIRG and CORF. This research was group-administered survey. The sample was composed of one hundred and forty four undergraduate students ( 98 females and 46 males). The research design was 2 (upward vs downward relationships) × 2 (achievement vs. role-obligation events) × 2 (positive vs. negative consequences) mixed design with two between-subject variables (vertical status and type of events) and one within-subject variable (consequences of events). Dependent variables were “glory” and “BIRG” in positive-event scenarios and “ashamedness” and “CORF” in negative events. Covariates included “importance of events”, “benefits (costs) of others”, “attributed to others” and “attributed to the actor” and “relationship quality”. Two-way ANCOVA was conducted. Results showed as following: (1) both in positive and negative event, “glory” and “ashamedness” for father was higher than son; (2) in positive event, “implicit BIRG” for father-to-son was higher than for son-to-father, but no significant differences in “explicit BIRG”; (3) “glory” in positive achievement events was higher than in positive role-obligations events; (4) CORF in the form of “relationships denied” in negative role obligations events were higher than in negative achievement events.
