DESCRIPTION (Adapted from Investigator's Abstract): This project will study the parenting of mothers and fathers of three year olds who have been part of a longitudinal study, since the age of 3, in Dunedin, New Zealand. It is proposed to test hypotheses regarding the conditions under which parenting is transmitted across generations. Studies that rely upon retrospective reports of childhood experience and/or that rely upon pre-selected samples of high-risk subjects (e.g., child abusers, teenage mothers, institutionally-reared girls) indicate that a supportive marital relationship protects a mother from repeating on her own child the mistreatment she experienced growing up. By studying approximately 500 parents from a complete cohort of approximately 1000 New Zealanders born in Dunedin two decades ago, the study will determine whether a supportive marriage functions as a buffer when prospective information on childhood experience is examined in a nonselected, representative sample. By drawing upon parenting and family climate data gathered when the adult subjects were of preschool age, in middle childhood and in early adolescence, and observing them with their own three year olds, the study will determine whether family influences during any of these developmental epochs are more predictive of parenting during adulthood; whether a good marriage disrupts the interdegenerational transmission of problematic parenting; and whether such processes operate similarly for mothers and for fathers. It is expected that insight into these issues afforded by this research will prove useful to those seeking to prevent problematic parenting from developing or promote competent parenting.

描述(改编自《调查者摘要》)：该项目将 研究三岁孩子的父母的养育方式 从3岁起，我就在纽约达尼丁参加了一项纵向研究 新西兰。建议对有关条件的假设进行检验 在这种情况下，父母的教养可以代代相传。研究表明 依赖童年经历的回顾报告和/或依赖 根据预选的高危对象样本(例如，儿童性虐待者， 十几岁的母亲，制度上养育的女孩)表明， 婚姻关系保护母亲不会在自己的孩子身上重复 她在成长过程中所遭受的虐待。通过研究大约 来自大约1000名新西兰人的500名父母 20年前出生于达尼丁，这项研究将确定 支持性婚姻在获得预期信息时起到了缓冲作用 关于童年经历的考察是在一个非精选的、有代表性的 样本。通过利用在以下情况下收集的育儿和家庭氛围数据 成年受试者为学龄前、儿童中期和年龄段。 青春期早期，并观察他们和他们自己三岁的孩子， 这项研究将确定家庭在其中任何一项中是否会受到影响 发育阶段对成年期的育儿方式有更大的预测性； 一段美满的婚姻是否会干扰基因的代际传递 有问题的育儿；以及这些过程是否类似于 母亲和父亲。预计对这些问题的洞察 这项研究提供的资金将被证明对那些试图预防 培养或促进有能力的父母养育方式的问题。
