      abstract = {The transmission of value between a mother and her  children is investigated through a cross-sectional  developmental study. The objective of this project is to  narrow down the attribution of values to particular  individuals of varied age, gender, and familial  relationship; and observe trends in how mothers respond  compared to children indicative of the transmission of  value. The study included children aged five through nine  years old (N = 149), some participants were siblings (n =  26), and their mothers (n = 123). A sinking ship selection  task was administered and framed in either a saving or  giving up context. Questions followed the sinking-ship task  to gain insight into the respondents' selections of the  presented stimuli. The results suggested a relationship  between mothers’ and children’s sinking-ship task  selections and that specific factors influence the choices  made by participants. The transmission of value from  mothers to children is supported by the study’s outcomes.  Findings contribute a further understanding of  decision-making processes and intergenerational differences  in the context of moral hypotheticals. Implications of the  findings have material applications that can inform  educational curricula and be implemented in school  settings.},
