Agreed, there is nothing conclusive about these findings, but I can't help but to notice all the parallels! The chicken and egg question is eternal. Perhaps the baby boomer conservatism has to do with the Great Depression and its after effects!? I can tell that the GD had a profound effect on the psychology (and possibly neurobiology) of my own family. There are however some generational changes noticeable in the offspring OF generation x mothers.... have you read A General Theory of Love yet? Great book that offers an excellent survey of the literature about human attachment, and some theories about what is happening among our young and why.
