| Annotation | Little research so far has examined storytelling as a channel of value socialisation. In this Canadian study, 129 adults from three age groups (18-26, 28-50, 60-75) were asked to tell stories to adolescents about 2 of their past value-learning experiences. Generative concern and moral reasoning stage level were also assessed. Stronger generative concern was predictive of a greater sense of having learned important lessons from past events, of stronger adult value socialisation investment, and of more engaging narratives for adolescents as judged by a panel of uninstructed raters. Higher levels of moral reasoning were positively related to generative concern and to a stronger sense of past lessons learned. Generativity appears important to the project of value socialisation across the adult life span. (AKM). |
