Discuss the factors related to class-linked differences in parental socialization
What will be an ideal response?
Higher SES parents tend to use authoritative parenting, while lower SES parents tend to use authoritarian parenting. There are several reasons for these differences. First, lower SES may be itself associated with greater psychological distress because of economic hardship. This distress detracts from a parent's ability to devote attention to children and may shorten patience, leading to more coercive, authoritarian parenting. Additionally, parents who are in lower SES jobs that are more "working class" are likely to view an important work skill as "obedience" and "pleasing the boss.". Upper-class parents may be in managerial jobs that value creativity and decision-making skills. These different experiences in what defines a good worker may lead lower-class parents to emphasize obedience over reasons underlying rules, while upper-class parents may want to unpack the reasons behind decisions for their children more explicitly.
