Abstract
Warm, sensitive parenting has been related to optimal child development. An important contributor believed to influence parenting style is the parent's own childrearing history in the family of origin. Most past research on the intergenerational transmission of parenting used samples of abusing parents and found support for the generational hypothesis. Other studies have shown the generational process to vary as a function of marital quality. The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between childrearing history, marital quality and current parenting style in a nonclinical sample of parents of preterm and term infants. Parent-infant interactions are altered in the preterm parent-infant dyad which adds stress to parenting. This may potentially cause parents to be more affected by their past childrearing experiences.
