We investigate the influence of parents' martial dissolutions on their children's attitudes toward several dimensions of family formation. Hypotheses focus on the role of patients' attitudes as a mechanism linking parents' behavior to their children's attitudes. We test these hypotheses using intergenerational panel data that include measures of children's attitudes taken directly from children. Results demonstrate strong effects of parental divorce, remarriage, and widowhood on children's attitudes toward premarital sex, cohabitation, marriage, childbearing, and divorce. The results also show that parents' own attitudes link their behavior to their children's attitudes, although substantial effects of parental behavior remain after controlling for parents' attitudes.
我们研究父母婚姻解体对其子女在家庭组建几个方面态度的影响。假设聚焦于患者态度作为将父母行为与其子女态度相联系的一种机制所起的作用。我们使用代际面板数据来检验这些假设，该数据包括直接从子女那里获取的子女态度测量值。结果表明，父母离婚、再婚和丧偶对子女在婚前性行为、同居、婚姻、生育和离婚等方面的态度有强烈影响。结果还表明，父母自身的态度将他们的行为与子女的态度联系起来，尽管在控制了父母的态度之后，父母行为的显著影响依然存在。
