SILVA SOARES, ANA KARLA et al. "Do What I Say, Not What I Do"? A Study of Value Transmission between Fathers/Mothers and Children. Rev. colomb. psicol. [online]. 2020, vol.29, n.1, pp.29-44. ISSN 0121-5469.  https://doi.org/10.15446/rcp.v29n1.72405.

The objective of the study is to identify to what extent the values of fathers/mothers and children are correlated, taking into account the type of transmission (direct or indirect) and its predictive potential. Participants were 204 pairs of parents and children. Most of the children were female (54.7%), and their average age was 11 (DE=1.01). In the case of the parents, the majority were mothers (69.6%), and their average age was 38 (DE =7.82). The fathers/mothers answered the Basic Values Survey corresponding to their age group and socio-demographic aspects. Results show that children's values are more heavily influenced by the values they perceive in their fathers/mothers, than by the values the fathers/ mothers give priority to and wish to convey to their children, according to significant indicators in the six valuation sub-functions. The study concludes that, through the socialization process, children apprehend the values transmitted by their fathers/mothers by observing their conduct. Therefore, we emphasize that parents' behavior is the best way to educate children.
