Abstract: Studies on intergenerational transmission show that parents could transmit some of their characteristics, values and behaviors to their children. Some researchers concluded that the level of parent’ s trust correlated to that of their child, that is, there is intergenerational transmission of interpersonal trust. Studies from the United States of America, Canada and Germany have provided evidence. However, in China, there is no research examining intergenerational transmission of trust in families with adolescent children. Based on a sample of 198 parent-adolescent pairs, the present study aimed to examine whether parents’ trust could be transmitted to their offspring or not. The study collected participants’ responses to the bargaining game by a questionnaire to measure their levels of trust. The results showed that: 1) 39.1% of adolescents, 47.2% of fathers and 43.0% of mothers chose to trust the stranger. 2) The level of parent’s trust could predict their child’s trust. The possibility of adolescent whose mother was trustful in the bargaining game being trustful was 3.17 times the possibility of those whose mother was trustless. The possibility of adolescent whose father was trustful in the bargaining game being trustful was 2.52 times the possibility of those whose father was trustless. 3) the level of mother’s trust correlated to that of father’s trust positively. Parents whose trust levels were similar could transmit their trust attitude to their offspring more easily.
