“…Support for this position was provided in a recent study of within‐family differences in intergenerational relations that found that mothers reported greater emotional closeness to daughters than sons specifically because they believed that their daughters were more sensitive to their feelings than were their sons (Suitor & Pillemer, 2006). Empirical studies of parent‐child agreement in the younger years provide no consistent picture regarding the effects of gender similarity (Cashmore & Goodnow, 1985; McBroom, Reed, Burns, Hargraves, & Trankel, 1985); however, on the basis of the strong theoretical arguments just presented, we hypothesized that daughters’ reports of their mothers’ favoritism would be more consistent with the mothers’ reports than would sons’ reports.…”

We used data from 769 mother-child dyads nested within 300 later life families to explore the accuracy of adult children's perceptions of mothers' patterns of favoritism in terms of closeness and confiding. Adult children were generally accurate regarding whether their mothers preferred a specific child, but often had difficulty identifying whom mothers favored. Multivariate analyses indicated that overall accuracy of children's reports was positively related to similarity of religious participation and negatively related to parental status of the adult child and family size. Because parental favoritism may affect adult children psychologically and have implications for later life care for parents, family practitioners should be aware of mothers' patterns of favoritism and the sometimes inaccurate perceptions adult children have concerning this favoritism.

“…In addition, the intergenerational transmission literature sometimes suggests a strong relationship between children's and parents' attitudes and at other times a weak relationship (contrast studies by Bengston 1975;Bengston and Troll 1978;Hoge, Petrillo, and Smith 1982;Jennings and Niemi 1982;McBroom, Reed, Burns, Hargraves, and Trankel 1985;Thomas and Stankiewicz 1974). .08…”

Some groups endure longer, are more stable, and are better able than other groups to incorporate new members or ideas without losing their distinctiveness. I present a simple model of individual behavior based on the thesis that interaction leads to shared knowledge and that relative shared knowlege leads to interaction. Using this model I examine the structural and cultural bases of group stability. Groups that are stable in the short run do not necessarily retain their distinctiveness in the long run as new members enter or new ideas are discovered.

“…However, in clarification, Kohn and Schooler (1969) Thus parents, as primary socialising agents, can produce and transmit their own values onto the adolescent, but some research has yet to find concrete evidence of such a strong relationship (McBroom, Reed, Burns, Hargraves & Trankel, 1985;Whitebeck & Gecas, 1988). Edgar-Smith and Wozniak (2010: 189) stated that strong "value agreement" within families was not expected during the period of adolescence, since adolescents were in constant interaction with other socialising agents aside from the family.…”

This study examines the relationship between the parents’ educational level and adolescent value orientations, and analyses value differences among adolescents based on the school type. The study involved 437 vocational and grammar school students (194 male or 44.4%; 243 female or 55.6%). The study included mid and late adolescents, with the participants’ age ranging from 14 to 19 (M=2.32, SD= 1.16). A questionnaire consisting of socio-demographic and self-direction questions, and conformity value orientation questions was implemented in the study. The theoretical analysis outlined the research findings related to adolescent values and parental class (education and occupation). The results demonstrated a significant relationship between the mother’s educational level and grammar students’ self-direction. A significant relationship was not found between the parents’ educational level and vocational/grammar students’ degree of conformity. Significant value differences based on the school type were established as vocational students ascribed higher importance to conformity values as opposed to grammar school students. These results suggested that future research could examine the reasons behind vocational students’ inclination towards conformity. Moreover, future studies should turn to parents-child rearing values and teacher’s values, in order to provide a deeper understanding of the value transmission during schooling.
