One of the most evident negative outcomes of adverse childhood experiences at vulnerable ages in childhood and adolescence seems to be intergenerational transmission or continuity in later periods of life. Most studies analyze this phenomenon in terms of direct victimizations, but what about the intergenerational transmission of more indirect victimizations, such as household dysfunctions (substance abuse, mental illness, or incarceration in the family)? The objective of this study is to examine if young adults present similar dysfunctions to those they experienced in their family as a child. This study included 420 Spanish young adults aged between 18 and 20 (M = 18.92), 63.3% of whom were females. All of them answered self-report questionnaires about household dysfunctions during their childhood and adolescence, and a general questionnaire about current similar behavior (drug and alcohol use, mental health problems and psychological distress, coping strategies, detentions/arrests, and deviant behavior), at the same data collection period. Both regression models and fuzzy qualitative analyses support the intergenerational transmission or continuity of household dysfunctions in this Spanish population. Some household dysfunctions presented a more univocal and specific intergenerational transmission process and others were mainly present in combination to yield negative results.

在童年和青春期的脆弱年龄段，不利的童年经历最明显的负面结果之一似乎是世代相传或生命后期的延续。大多数研究从直接受害的角度分析了这种现象，但是，更多间接受害的代际传播又如何呢，例如家庭功能障碍（药物滥用，精神疾病或家庭监禁）呢？这项研究的目的是检查年轻人是否表现出与他们小时候在家中经历的功能障碍相似的功能障碍。这项研究包括（年龄在18岁至20 420个西班牙年轻人中号 = 18.92），其中63.3％是女性。他们都回答了有关儿童和青少年时期家庭功能障碍的自我报告调查表，以及有关当前类似行为（毒品和酒精使用，心理健康问题和心理困扰，应对策略，拘留/逮捕和异常行为）的一般调查表，在相同的数据收集期间。回归模型和模糊定性分析均支持该西班牙人口的代际传播或家庭功能障碍的连续性。一些家庭功能障碍表现出更加明确和具体的代际传播过程，而另一些则主要结合出现，以产生负面结果。
