Intergenerational transmission of parenting style in a cross-cultural college student sample

Abstract

Parenting quality and styles impact children’s socioemotional development (e.g., Kitamura et al., 2009, Lomanowskaet al., 2017). Parenting style often shows intergenerational transmission, influencing children’s expectations of future interpersonal relationships in young adulthood (Einav, 2013). However, little is known about the relationship between parent-child interaction and child’s parenting belief during emerging adulthood. We examined the relationship between a retrospective report of interaction with parents during the high school senior year and the person’s own parenting beliefs in young adulthood, as well as how gender, cultural background, and birth order might affect such intergenerational transmission.
