Resemblances were greater in values than in other domains for 100 white college students and the 2 parents of each, with somewhat greater similarities between parent-parent than between parent-child. "There was no evidence of greater resemblance in one than in another of the 4 parent-child dyads: mother-son, mother-daughter, father-son, father-daughter. The resemblances did not seem related to any 1 of 8 characteristics of family structure or family emotional climate, although the findings suggested that general cohesiveness and integration of the family may be of some influence."
