Data gathered from mothers on parenting and family climate when almost 1,000 children in the Dunedin, New Zealand, longitudinal study were 3, 5, 7, 9, 13, and 15 years of age were used to predict intergenerational relations between young adult children (age 26) and their middle-aged parents. Analyses focused on distinct developmental epochs revealed greater prediction from the middle-childhood and early-adolescent periods than from the early-childhood years: most indicated that more supportive family environments and child-rearing experiences in the family of origin forecasted more positive and less negative parent-child relationships (in terms of contact, closeness, conflict, reciprocal assistance) in young adulthood, though associations were modest in magnitude. Some evidence indicated that (modestly) deleterious effects on intergenerational relations of experiencing relatively unsupportive child-rearing environments in 1 but not 2 (of 3) developmental periods studied could be offset by relatively supportive family environments in the remaining developmental periods.
在新西兰达尼丁的一项纵向研究中，当近1000名儿童分别为3岁、5岁、7岁、9岁、13岁和15岁时，从母亲那里收集到的关于育儿和家庭氛围的数据，被用于预测成年子女（26岁）与中年父母之间的代际关系。对不同发育阶段的分析显示，童年中期和青少年早期比幼儿期具有更强的预测力：大多数研究表明，原生家庭中更具支持性的家庭环境和育儿经历预示着成年后亲子关系更积极、负面更少（在接触、亲密程度、冲突、相互帮助方面），尽管这种关联程度适中。一些证据表明，在研究的3个发育阶段中的1个阶段（而非2个阶段）经历相对缺乏支持的育儿环境对代际关系产生的（适度）有害影响，可以被其余发育阶段中相对支持性的家庭环境所抵消。
