“…This conclusion was also supported by other researchers (Epstein, 1966) especially in the case of punitiveness toward low status subjects (Epstein, 1966;Altemeyer, 1988). None of these investigations involved children, but children certainly may be considered low status subjects.…”

This research investigated the relationship between the personality construct of right-wing authoritarianism and Baumrind's 1971 proposed parenting styles of authoritarian, authoritative, and permissive parenting. 68 youth ages 12-18 along with one of their parents participated. The children rated both parents on Buri's 1991 Parental Authority Questionnaire. One of the parents responded to Altemeyer's Right-Wing Authoritarian Scale. People with higher scores on Altemeyer's scale were more likely to prefer the authoritarian parenting style as their offspring reported (r = .33). Permissive parenting correlated negatively with the measure of authoritarianism as a personality variable (r = -.56).

“…However, this does not mean negative modeling did not occur. Because this study and others like it (see Berger, 1977;Bussey & Perry, 1976;Dove & McReynolds, 1972;Epstein, 1966;Graciano, 1976;Owens & Ascione, 1991) do not have a no-model condition, there are several possible ways to interpret observers giving responses more in line with a model's when the model is portrayed as similar compared with dissimilar to the observer. It could be that the similar model produced a positive effect, the negative model produced a negative effect, or both.…”

Modeling research that has focused on the effects of observing similar others appears to have underestimated the influence of observing dissimilar others. Two experiments demonstrated that observing a model express liking for a piece of music induced more favorable opinions of the music (positive modeling) when the model was similar to the participant observer in relevant opinions, and more negative opinions (negative modeling) when the model was dissimilar to the participant in relevant opinions. Of note, this pattern was more pronounced when participants also believed their general backgrounds were dissimilar rather than similar to that of the model. Underlying social comparison processes and the mediational role of participants' liking of the model are considered.

“…In stratified societies, high status groups usually show ingroup favouritism and low status groups often display outgroup favouritism. However, even this generalization is an over-simplification because the opposite tendencies can be demonstrated under certain conditions (e.g., Branthwaite and Jones, 1975;Doise and Sinclair, 1973;Epstein, 1966;Turner and Brown, 1978;Vaughan, 1978;Yackley and Lambert, 1971). Neither do the relations between specific social groups appear to be pervasively characterized by ingroup or outgroup favouritism.…”
