Multigenerational transmission process

The multigenerational transmission process describes how beliefs, behaviors, values, and emotional patterns are passed down from one generation to the next. This transfer occurs through family interactions, communication styles, and observed behaviors. For example, a parent's attitudes toward education or work can influence their children's outlooks and actions as they grow up. Over time, these patterns can shape family culture and influence future generations, often unconsciously. Understanding this process helps explain how certain traits or tendencies persist within families and highlights the importance of awareness and intentional change.
