Project description

The project is a "third-generation study," continuing the longitudinal Flemish Study on Parenting, Personality, and Development. It focuses on participants and their families, employing a multi-informant approach for a comprehensive understanding of intergenerational dynamics. The study aims to explore the transmission of positive/negative parenting behaviors, stress, personality, and adjustment across generations. Unique internationally, it examines grandparents' impact on grandchildren.

Main Goals:

Investigate intergenerational transmission of parenting, stress, personality, and (mal)adjustment in mothers and fathers
Examine the link between (parents' perception of) task division (work, childcare, household) and (a) parenting quality, (b) co-parenting dynamics, (c) child development
Explore parenting (stress), parental personality, and (mal)adjustment as predictors of individual differences in child executive functions—a crucial aspect for adaptive functioning from childhood to adulthood
