Problem: How can I make notes with bullet points in this paragraph? Intergenerational studies such as this one have a number of limitations. One limitation is that because they require contact with a sample over an extended period of time, they are complicated and expensive and they often suffer from participant attrition. In addition, these researchers were not able to fully explore the influence of fathers. First-generation father data were not available for one quarter of the sample because the parents had divorced. Researchers in the future can contribute more information about the important issue of cross-generational parenting continuity by using larger and more complete samples. In fact, these researchers suggest that another factor that can disrupt the intergenerational transmission of hostile patterns is the quality of the parenting partner. Specifically, when a parent who was treated harshly during his or her own childhood has a warm and supportive coparent in adulthood, the intergenerational transmission of hostility link may be broken (Conger et al., 2012).
