Continuities--a search for causal mechanisms: comment on the special section

G R Patterson. Dev Psychol. 1998 Nov.

Abstract

The findings of the 8 empirical articles in this special section make a convincing case for cross-generation continuities. It is proposed that parenting practices may serve as a mechanisms that accounts for these stabilities. Both biological and social interactional variables are examined as potential explanations for how this effect might come about.
