This study contrasts two theoretical perspectives on the relationship between intergenerational class mobility and child-rearing values. According to the dissociative thesis, which describes social mobility as a disruptive experience leading to insecurity, social isolation, stress and frustration, socially mobile individuals less often prefer community-oriented qualities such as tolerance and respect for other people, unselfishness, good manners and obedience. The beneficiary thesis, on the other hand, predicts that socially mobile individuals have a stronger preference for individual-based values such as hard work, determination, responsibility, independence and thrift. In both cases, these mobility effects are thought to be stronger for more extremely mobile individuals and for downwardly mobile compared with upwardly mobile individuals. However, using Dutch data from the European Values Study 2008, hardly any significant intergenerational mobility effects are found. Maybe intergenerational mobility is not such an extraordinary experience as mobility theory would lead us to believe, or mobile individuals adjust themselves very quickly to their new situation.
本研究对比了关于代际阶层流动与育儿价值观之间关系的两种理论观点。根据解离论点，该论点将社会流动描述为一种导致不安全感、社会孤立、压力和挫折的破坏性经历，社会流动的个体较少倾向于社区导向的品质，如宽容、尊重他人、无私、礼貌和顺从。另一方面，受益论点预测，社会流动的个体更强烈地倾向于基于个人的价值观，如努力工作、决心、责任、独立和节俭。在这两种情况下，这些流动效应被认为对于流动性更强的个体以及向下流动的个体（与向上流动的个体相比）更为显著。然而，使用2008年欧洲价值观研究中的荷兰数据，几乎未发现任何显著的代际流动效应。也许代际流动并非如流动理论让我们所相信的那样是一种非凡的经历，或者流动个体能够非常迅速地适应他们的新处境。
