“…Fairly high (ranging from .55 to .77) levels of stability of behavioral inhibition/fear (e.g., Eggum et al, 2012) and impulsivity (e.g., Eisenberg et al, 2004) are typical by the time children are 6 to 10 years of age. By late adolescence to early adulthood, behavioral inhibition/fear and impulsivity exhibit high rank-order stability (across studies, ranging from .58 to .84 for impulsivity and .57 to .81 for behavioral inhibition/fear; Arneklev, Cochran, & Gainey, 1998; Gest, 1997; Hopwood et al, 2013; Meldrum, Young, & Weerman, 2012; Windsor, Pearson, & Butterworth, 2012). Although both show the same pattern of rank-order stability in individual differences, behavioral inhibition/fear and impulsivity show distinct patterns of typical mean-level change (i.e., ontogeny).…”

This review examines mechanisms contributing to the intergenerational transmission of self-regulation. To provide an integrated account of how self-regulation is transmitted across generations, we draw from over 75 years of accumulated evidence, spanning case studies to experimental approaches, in literatures covering developmental, social, and clinical psychology, and criminology, physiology, genetics, and human and animal neuroscience (among others). First, we present a taxonomy of what self-regulation is and then examine how it develops – overviews that guide the main foci of the review. Next, studies supporting an association between parent and child self-regulation are reviewed. Subsequently, literature that considers potential social mechanisms of transmission, specifically parenting behavior, inter-parental (i.e., marital) relationship behaviors, and broader rearing influences (e.g., household chaos) are considered. Finally, literature providing evidence that prenatal programming may be the starting point of the intergenerational transmission of self-regulation is covered, along with key findings from the behavioral and molecular genetics literatures. To integrate these literatures, we introduce the Self-Regulation Intergenerational Transmission Model, a framework that brings together prenatal, social, and neurobiological mechanisms (spanning endocrine, neural, and genetic levels, including gene-environment interplay and epigenetic processes) to explain the intergenerational transmission of self-regulation. This model also incorporates potential transactional processes between generations (e.g., children’s self-regulation and parent-child interaction dynamics that may affect parents’ self-regulation) that further influence intergenerational processes. In pointing the way forward, we note key future directions and ways to address limitations in existing work throughout the review and in closing. We also conclude by noting several implications for intervention work.

“…The temporal gap between the two abovementioned traits creates a period of heightened vulnerability to risk taking during mid-adolescence (Steinberg 2008). Essentially, the point at which maturing impulse systems become disproportionately activated relative to later-maturing top-down control systems has been supported by data from cross-sectional ) and longitudinal (Harden & Tucker-Drob 2011;Meldrum et al 2012;King et al 2013;Knafo et al 2013) surveys. However, few studies have been conducted in people of Asian descent that have reported to demonstrate the distinct developmental trends in good self-control and poor control.…”

“…A measure of delinquent peers was included in analyses in order to account for the potential influence of peers on self-control as shown in prior research (Meldrum, 2008;Meldrum & Hay, 2012;Meldrum, Young, & Weerman, 2012). Delinquent peer association was measured with a scale based on items asking respondents how many of their friends, in the year prior to the respondent's incarceration, had engaged in a variety of antisocial behaviors ranging from "got drunk" to "were convicted".…”
