According to Erikson, parenthood is the prime generative encounter for most people. Approaches to parenthood have an effect on whether parenting is enjoyable and stimulating, or difficult and burdensome. In our own lab with a different sample, authoritative parenting, which was related to parental generativity, was related to positive relations with offspring. In contrast, authoritarian parenting, characterized by high control and low warmth, was marked by conflict between parents and offspring. Thus, in the current sample, there should be a positive relationship between generativity and expressions of happiness and self-growth through motherhood (and grandmotherhood).
