Family Similarities in Interests and Orientation

Grotevant, Harold D.

Merrill-Palmer Quarterly, 22, 1, 61-72, Jan 76

The pattern of correlates in this study suggests differential contributions of mothers and fathers to the interests of their children. Parent-child similarities were found to be influenced both by the particular Holland interest style being examined as well as by the child's sex. Revision and extension of Holland's model is suggested. (GO)
