A model of sex-role transmission from mothers to daughters is constructed, using data from three survey years of the NLS of Mature Women and Young Women (number of cases not provided). A series of hypotheses are developed, specifying race differences on how mothers' sex-role attitudes and work behavior during daughters' adolescence influence daughters' adult work and sex-role attitudes. The major difference between blacks and whites does not lie in the relationship between attitudes and behavior within cohort, but rather in the manner in which these are transmitted across generations.
