作者报告了在社会经济地位较低的中等种族多样性样本(N=61)中对跨代父母养育质量进行的前瞻性纵向研究的结果。这项研究在几个重要方面扩展了先前关于育儿的代际连续性的研究：(A)两代人的评估都是基于直接观察，(B)两代人在相同的年龄(24个月)进行评估，(C)第一代人有后来养育子女的对照，以及(D)关键背景因素(压力、社会经济地位、儿童和父母智商)的对照。一项观察到的育儿质量综合指标在世代之间表现出中等的稳定性(r=0.43)，在控制了所有其他因素后，结果仍然成立。讨论了早期育儿经验可能的特殊作用，以及证明这一点所需的广泛研究。
The authors report the results from a prospective, longitudinal study of cross-generational parenting quality in a lower socioeconomic status sample of moderate ethnic diversity (N = 61). The study extends previous research on intergenerational continuity of parenting in several significant ways: (a) Assessments in both generations were based on direct observation, (b) assessments were made at the same age (24 months) in both generations, (c) there were controls for later parenting in the first generation, and (d) there were controls for critical background factors (stress, socioeconomic status, child and parent IQ). An observed parenting-quality composite showed moderate stability (r =.43) across generations, and findings held after controlling for all other factors. A possible special role for early parenting experience and the extensive research needed to demonstrate it are discussed.
