“…On average, there was a moderate level of parent-child value similarity, but definitely higher than that reported by studies on families with adolescents (e.g., Barni, Ranieri, & Scabini, 2012). A prevailing parent-to-child value transmission pattern is changing, with children increasingly influencing their parents as they make the transition to emerging adulthood.…”

“Do Not Leave Your Values at Home”: A Study of Value Orientations of Italian Emerging Adults and Their Parents

et al. 2014

The aims of this work, involving a convenience sample of 184 emerging adults and both their parents, recruited in universities and worker cooperatives and factories located in northern Italy, were to: (a) compare the emerging adults' and their parents' values to uncover gender and generational specificities, (b) measure value similarities between each emerging adult and his/her parents and between the two parents, and (c) examine the importance of family relationship quality as accounting for value similarities. Participants filled out the Portrait Values Questionnaire and the Network of Relationship Inventory (3 subscales). Through ANOVAs, correlations, and dominance analyses, the results revealed gender-related and intergenerational differences in the importance attributed to values. Within family dyads, on average, a moderate degree of similarity was found between each emerging adult's value profile and his/her own father's and mother's value profiles, but lower than those between father and mother. The family relationship quality explained only a small proportion of variance of parent-child value similarities and slightly larger of mother-father value similarity. Implications of the results for transmission of values and their possible development are discussed.

“…In Model 2, we entered parent's conservatism and other parental characteristics (i.e., education, religiosity, parenthood age), treated as our contextual control variables (at the family level), and we verified if the effect of participants' birth order depended on some of these variables. We performed parallel analyses using the mother's and father's data to make our results more informative than it often happens (indeed, fathers are often neglected in research focusing on youth's socialization: see Barni, Ranieri, & Scabini, 2012;Friedlmeier & Friedlmeier, 2012).…”

We analysed differences in conservative values between firstborn and secondborn siblings, in the context of Sulloway's (1996) idea that firstborns favour the status quo more than secondborns do.Using multilevel analysis to predict siblings' conservatism, we tested two hypotheses from Sulloway's theory: (a) firstborns are more conservative than are secondborns; and (b) firstborns internalize their parents' conservative values stronger than secondborns do, independent from the degree of their parents' conservatism. Ninety-six Italian families (composed of both parents, the firstborn and the secondborn, total N = 384) filled out the Portrait Values Questionnaire (Schwartz et al., 2001). Results supported Sulloway's first, but not his second prediction: Birth order fostered children's conservatism directly, but not in interaction with parents' conservatism. Implications of the results for the children's socialization and their possible developments are discussed.

“…It is found that demonstration and reinforcement play important roles in shaping their behaviour. Another recent study, which looks into value similarities among grandparents, parents, and adolescent children, concludes that parent-adolescent value similarity is lower than grandmother-parent similarity (Barni, Ranieri, & Scabini, 2012). It also highlights the strong interaction between family and social-cultural context in value choices and in determining the level of similarity among family members.…”

Despite the abundance of marketing literature on consumer complaint behaviour, little is done to explicate such behaviour from generational perspectives. How the older and younger groups complain, and whether the latter learn or inherit behavioural values from the former remain unknown. Using theories pertinent to complaint behaviour and social learning theory as the basis, the present study aims to look into complaint behaviour between two generations, namely the mothers and the daughters. A qualitative approach using dyad interview was employed in Malaysia to gain insights not only about their respective complaint behaviour but also its similarities and differences simultaneously. Subsequently, five pairs of mothers and daughters were interviewed. All interviews were transcribed and analyzed using content analysis. The findings show that while the mothers would most likely seek redress in person, complain to others verbally and take no action, the daughters tend to seek redress and tell others about it using electronic media. There is apparent similarity in seeking redress and ranting on between the mothers and daughters but the younger generation tends to do it via social media. The study thus serves as a precursor to future investigation on complaint behaviour by different generation cohorts in the same family and the potential transmission of behavioural values between them. Practical implications are provided.
