Abstrakt: The article focuses on children's attitudes toward labor unions. In particular, it has been suggested that children develop their union attitudes through vicarious learning: As children see their parents become involved in union activities and talk about unions, they form their own attitudes toward labor organizations. In the present study, researchers directly assessed the psychological identification of students with their mothers and fathers. In doing so, they hypothesized that the parents' union involvement and union attitudes would be stronger predictors of the children's attitudes when they identified strongly with the parents. In three of four cases identification with parents moderated the relationship between perceptions of parents' union involvement and union attitudes and the students own union attitudes. Researchers assumed that sons would identify with daughters and that daughters would identify with mothers. The present study directly assessed the psychological identification of students with their mothers and fathers.
