Compare and contrast the parenting styles used by parents in the United States with parents in China. Describe outcomes from each type
What will be an ideal response?
Parents in the U.S. fit Baumrind’s four types fairly well.
Parents in China use practices related to training and parental responsibility for children.
They emphasize hard work, discipline, achievement, and maintenance of family honor.
They show a less overt expression of affection and warmth than in the U.S.
Despite the stricter practices of Chinese parents, children do not show the kinds of outcomes associated with authoritarian parents in the U.S.
Children tend to have high academic competence and few behavior problems.
Baumrind has proposed that these aspects of Chinese parenting make it more similar to directive authoritative parents in the U.S.
