  • Inclusion of parents' early life experiences and current family dynamics as variables.

    • Main Results:

    • Parent-child relationship quality is associated with parents' life course experiences and current family circumstances.
    • Children with parents who experienced early adversities are at higher risk for less affectionate relationships.
    • Evidence supports selection effects, co-parenting effects, and biological relatedness in relationship transmission.

    Conclusions:

    • Early adversities in parents can negatively impact intergenerational relationship patterns.
    • Family dynamics and parental history significantly shape child-parent relationships.
    • Understanding these links has implications for clinical practice and family support interventions.
