ABSTRACT
Psychologists, along with sociologists and anthropologists, are often interested in the conditions that influence the extent to which an older and a younger generation share the same views. The basis of interest is sometimes a large-scale concern with “cultural reproduction” and sometimes a more microanalytic concern with parent–child dyads and the nature of socialization within the family. In this chapter, I note some proposals from both “macro” and “micro” analyses, paying particular attention to gaps in what is known or considered.
