Mothers, fathers, and their adolescent children participated in two studies investigating the relations between Erikson's concept of generativityin adulthood and patterns of parenting. Study 1 involved 77 mothers and 48 fathers of 1st-year university students; Study 2 was part of an investigation of socialization processes in 35 families with an adolescent, aged 14-18. Parental generative concern was assessed by the Loyola Generativity Scale (LGS) of McAdams and de St. Aubin (1992) in each study. In both studies, mothers demonstrated positive relations between scores on the LGS and an authoritative style of parenting, as well as between generativity and more positive, optimistic views of adolescent development. In Study 2, these more positive views in turn mediated some aspects of autonomy-fostering practices used with the adolescent. Variations in fathers' levels of generative concern were less consistently related to these indices of parenting, however.
母亲、父亲及其处于青春期的孩子参与了两项研究，这些研究旨在探究埃里克森提出的成年期繁衍力概念与养育模式之间的关系。研究1涉及77位一年级大学生的母亲和48位父亲；研究2是对35个有14至18岁青少年家庭的社会化过程调查的一部分。在每项研究中，父母的繁衍关怀均通过麦克亚当斯和德·圣奥宾（1992年）的洛约拉繁衍力量表（LGS）进行评估。在两项研究中，母亲们在LGS得分与权威型养育方式之间，以及在繁衍力与对青少年发展更积极、乐观的看法之间均表现出正相关关系。在研究2中，这些更积极的看法反过来又调节了对青少年采用的促进自主性做法的某些方面。然而，父亲的繁衍关怀水平变化与这些养育指标的相关性则不太一致。
