Intergenerational Transmission

Intergenerational transmission refers to the way beliefs, behaviors, values, and patterns are passed from one generation to the next. This can happen through family interactions, cultural practices, or shared experiences. For example, parenting styles, career choices, or attitudes towards education often influence children’s development and future decisions. This process helps shape individual lives and societal trends over time. Understanding intergenerational transmission highlights how personal and cultural traits evolve and persist across generations, impacting social dynamics, health, and well-being.
