DESCRIPTION

The Longitudinal Study of Generations is a mutigenerational study that explores how families transmit culture, values, and beliefs across generations. Thanks to funding from the John Templeton Foundation and the National Institute of Aging, the study is recruiting previous study participants and adding a fifth generation. The young adults and teens of the fifth generation are the great-great-grandchildren of original study participants.
