Discuss how African-American, Asian-American, European-American, and Latino parents differ or concur on parenting attitudes and behaviors.
What will be an ideal response?
A complete answer would include information on attitudes (African-American, Asian-American, and Latino parents promote compliance and conformity more than European-American parents. Latino families value “respeto” and “familismo;” their family-centered orientation is related to enjoyment of family life, positive attitudes toward parents, and a large and close extended-family network. Asian-American families value social harmony, education, hard work, and loyalty) and behaviors (African-American parents more likely to assume authoritarian style, show lower levels of support and warmth [but, studies vary]; depending on acculturation and SES, some Latino families are more permissive, some more harsh; Asian American families put emphasis and pressure on their children to perform well in school, limit television, and engage in educational activities and outings.) Across all four groups, the most valued goal was self-direction, followed by kindness, tradition/conformity, and relatedness. Power and achievement had the lowest mean score across all four groups
