家长教养方式的阶层差异及其对子女非认知能力的影响

Abstract

Abstract:

The mainstream research on social stratification and educational sociology largely focuses on the effects of economic and culture capital on adolescent performance such as test scores or educational attainment,while little attention has been paid to the parent-child relationship and its influences on children. James Coleman pointed out that norms,social networks,and relationships between adults and children had an imperative importance over children's development. In the line with his theory,this study examines the SES-related differences in parenting and the influence of parenting upon junior students' non-cognitive skills using the data from the "China Education Panel Survey" in 2014-2015. Baumrind's four parenting styles of authoritative,authoritarian,indulgent and neglectful are applied as an analytic framework. The author finds that:(1) Both authoritarian and neglectful parenting styles dominate among the Chinese;(2)Families with higher SES score higher in authoritative and indulgent parenting and lower authoritarian and neglectful parenting than families with lower SES;(3)Authoritative parenting is positively associated with non-cognitive skills whereas neglectful parenting has adverse effects. Furthermore,authoritative and indulgent parenting may lead to better development in sociability. This study offers insights into the role of parent-child relations in the inter-generational transmission of inequality. It appears that parenting styles such as authoritative or indulgent parenting style can help narrow the gap between high-and low-SES Chinese adolescents.
