“…International comparative studies note that the argument that authoritative parenting is more favorable has a certain universality and transcends racial and cultural boundaries (Pong et al 2010). Western psychology focuses on individual psychological characteristics, and thus some psychologists claim that the current research on parenting styles focuses too much on individual psychological variables and ignores other important contextual factors of class, and that learning a child's class origin often better predicts the child's future outcomes than knowing the child's early psychological characteristics (Frank 2013).…”

Based on Bourdieu's concepts of "capital" and "habitus" in his class theory, this paper examines the differentiation of capital investment and parenting habitus on children's education between the Chinese urban middle class and lower class. By analyzing 2009 survey data of students in grades 4 and 8 in urban areas, the authors found that middle-class parents had significant advantages in capital investment, but showed no significant differences in parenting attitudes when compared to lower-class families. This finding indicates that the current Chinese middle class largely relies on capital possession, but displays few differences in class habitus compared with the lower class. The so-called class crystallization is maintained primarily through economic capital, but not through distinctions of inner dispositions.

“…Psychologists Maccoby & Martin identified a fourth parenting style, called uninvolved or neglectful styles of parenting [12]. As stated by Baumrind, children who are raised by authoritative parents tend to perform better in society as they exhibit higher levels of psychosocial competence and social development [13]. Regarding the role of psychiatric and mental health nurse is to help the student to identify automatic negative thoughts, provide them with competing responses to negative thoughts or behaviors, encourage students for positive self-talk and rehearse social skills in a smaller or more relaxed setting.…”

“…For example, although some studies indicate that the academic performance of Chinese elementary schoolers and adolescents is positively associated with authoritative parenting but negatively associated with authoritarian parenting [22,23], other studies have found that the academic adjustment of Chinese/Chinese American preschoolers and adolescents (e.g., academic performance and effort) is positively associated with authoritarian [5,24] rather than authoritative [4] parenting styles. These quantitative research studies were based on samples with regular students only or with both regular and academically gifted students; to our knowledge, similar research that specifically examines academically gifted Chinese/Chinese American students is lacking.…”

Training (jiao xun) has been proposed as an indigenous form of Chinese parenting. Does it exist in other populations? If so, how might it be associated with developmental outcomes? We examined the relationships of training to adolescent academic, psychological, and school adjustment in a sample of 214 Chinese American and 125 European American academically gifted students. We found that training also occurs in European American families with academically gifted children. There were other ethnic similarities: Training was not associated with depression or anxiety in either group, and it was a positive predictor of academic efficacy for both groups. One difference emerged: Training was not associated with school-engagement problems for the European American students, but it was positively associated with fewer school-engagement problems for the Chinese American students. The findings suggest that training has positive implications for academic and school adjustment among academically gifted Chinese American adolescents and for academic adjustment only among their European American peers.
