<p>Values and religious beliefs are central elements of social norms and have a&#xa0;lasting influence on the socialization and behavior of individuals. This study examines the intergenerational transmission of values and religiosity as well as their gender-specific dynamics on the basis of a&#xa0;bigenerational sample consisting of 927 young adults (18–26&#xa0;years) and their parents (<i>N</i> = 325). Data were collected using standardized questionnaires, including the Portrait Values Questionnaire (PVQ-21) to assess value types according to Schwartz, and a&#xa0;multidimensional religiosity scale. The results indicate a&#xa0;general decline in religiosity across generations, especially in the area of institutionalized practice. Nevertheless, significant intergenerational correlations exist in private religious practice and subjective religiosity. Religious parents and children show a&#xa0;stronger preference for traditional values, while less religious families prioritize achievement and power-oriented values. Mothers have a&#xa0;stronger influence on social values such as tradition and universalism, while fathers are less influential in imparting values. Gender-specific differences are particularly evident in the case of daughters, who adopt social values more frequently, while sons show inconsistent patterns in the adoption of values. The results offer new insights into familial mechanisms of transmitting values and religiosity and their gender-specific differences. The study thus contributes to the social science debate on the role of religion and gender in the intergenerational transmission of values and expands our understanding of gender-specific dynamics in this context.</p>
