Upward Intergenerational Influences on Parents’ Innovativeness and Innovative Behavior in Single-Child and Non-Single-Child Families

This paper found the upward intergenerational influences, even controlling for the peer and spousal influences. Parents’ innovativeness mediated the influences of young adult children, spouses and friends, and had a positive impact on innovation tendency and behavior. However, single- vs. non-single-child families had totally different patterns of upward intergenerational influences.
