Summary View help for Summary
This study is part of the Oregon Youth Study, which began in 1983 and has now become the Three Generational Study (3GS). The aim of the original study was to examine the etiology of antisocial behaviors in boys, with the longer-term goal of designing preventative interventions. The longitudinal study expanded to include data collection regarding the relationships between the original male respondents, their romantic partners, and their offspring. This study in particular focuses on the parental behavior of the original male respondents and their romantic partners towards the respondents' children in the target age range of 3 years. The rationale for examining the data is to track intergenerational trends in social behavior and health, with the aim to develop preventative interventions for future cohorts.
