“…Research by Gerris et al (1997) supports this interpretation; in their study, the effects of social class on behavior in relation to children were mediated by mothers’ willingness to make decisions taking into account their child’s perspective. Similarly, Tudge and colleagues (2013), in a longitudinal study following children from 3 months of age to 7 years, provided evidence that even parents who valued autonomy when their children were 3 months and 7 years were more likely to value obedience when their children began to exhibit more autonomous behavior at 3 years of age. Parents’ values, in other words, were modified by changes in their children’s abilities and wishes.…”

“…Other researchers, too, have found support for Kohn’s arguments in the United States and Russia (Alwin, 1989, 1995; Curtner-Smith et al, 1995; Luster et al, 1989; Spade, 1991; Tudge, Hogan, Snezhkova, Kulakova, & Etz, 2000). A number of scholars have also found a connection between social class and parents’ child-rearing values in Brazil (Moinhos, Lordelo, & Seidl-de-Moura, 2007; Piccinini, Tudge, Marin, Frizzo, & Lopes, 2010; Ribas, Seidl-de-Moura, & Bornstein, 2003; Seidl-de-Moura et al, 2004; Tudge et al, 2013; Vieira, Seidl-de-Moura, Lordelo, et al, 2010), although no research in Brazil has been conducted on the factor (i.e., parents’ workplace experiences) proposed to connect social class to parents’ child-rearing values.…”

“…Tudge and colleagues’ (2013) study of Brazilian parents’ child-rearing values also suggests that daily contact with a child can influence not only the parents’ behavior but also their specific child-rearing values, particularly when their children are young. Young children are developing abilities and wishes to be autonomous that may run counter to their parents’ attempts to have them follow the family’s norms and rules.…”

We investigated associations among social class, parents' work experiences, and their childrearing values in a sample of mothers and fathers drawn from southern Brazil, testing Kohn's hypothesis that parents who experience greater decision-making autonomy at work and who perceive their jobs to be more complex will be more likely to value self-direction and less likely to value conformity in their children. We also tested the hypothesis that the relation between social class and values would be mediated by workplace experiences. Participants included 68 parents (38 mothers, 30 fathers; 46 working class, 22 middle class) of 36-month-old children who were part of a longitudinal study. Correlation analyses revealed few associations among social class, workplace experiences, and child-rearing values among the mothers, but among the fathers these variables associated in the expected direction. The results also indicated that workplace experience mediates the relation between social class and values, although only for fathers. Our findings supported Kohn's hypothesis regarding differences between social-class groups and highlighted that the relation between work experience and parental values varied by parents' gender. Social and cultural issues regarding work context and parental values between women and men in southern Brazil are discussed.Many scholars have argued that there is a link between parents' social-class background and their child-rearing values, with the majority of the relevant research conducted in the United States (

“…Thus, according to this model, parenting beliefs are direct manifestations of parenting values. The link between parenting values and beliefs has been established with respect to beliefs in parental support (Kohn, 1977; Paiva, 2008; Tudge et al, 2013), sensitivity (Ziehm et al, 2013), and corporal punishment (Jambunathan & Counselman, 2002).…”

Parenting beliefs in ultra‐orthodox families in Israel: The integration of structure and support

ObjectiveThe purpose of this study was to explore the parenting beliefs of large ultra‐orthodox families living in Israel within the context of religion, culture, and large family size.BackgroundThe ultra‐orthodox community in Israel represents a growing and insular population. Little research has been done exploring the nature of parenting beliefs in this community. In particular, the opinions of children on this topic have been neglected in the literature.MethodA qualitative design using semistructured interviews was used as the primary research instrument. The study sample consisted of 25 individuals from five ultra‐orthodox families. All members of the family above age 10 were interviewed.ResultsParents focused on the individuality of their children and made efforts to provide individualized attention to them. These intentions existed alongside a strong emphasis from both parents and children on hierarchy and respect for elders. These beliefs were identified as “Torah values” and were understood to originate within a religious framework with divine origin.ConclusionClinical and research implications of the findings are discussed. Participants supported a framework that emphasized the Euro‐American parenting values of individuality and support but did not include democratic elements of child–parent interaction. Instead, hierarchical beliefs that reinforced family hierarchy and obedience from children predominated.ImplicationsIn ultra‐orthodox households in Israel, firm boundaries and strict hierarchy should not be associated with low levels of warmth and attunement. A lack of tolerance for difference is not necessarily an indication of an absence of appreciation of individuality.

“…The first one concerns the presence of stressful life conditions that lead to the over use of negative control strategies (Bornstein, 2015). A second possible reason regards the greater consideration given to children's conformity to the detriment of their autonomy and self-direction by working-class parents (Tudge et al, 2013).…”

Disciplining a child is one of the most challenging parental tasks. Efficacy beliefs contribute to make this experience more or less successful. The purpose of this study is to examine the predictive role of efficacy beliefs on maternal disciplinary behavior. A total of 128 mothers of pre-school aged children participated in this study. They were asked to complete the Parental Disciplinary Behavior Scale and the Efficacy Subscale of the Parenting Sense of Competence. Results showed that mothers use inductive behavior more frequently and perceive these behaviors as the most effective ones. Power assertion is explained by the child’s age, the mother’s educational level, her perception of parental self-efficacy and also by her maternal beliefs about the effectiveness of both power assertion and non-physical punishment. Non-physical punishment is explained by maternal beliefs regarding the effectiveness of both non-physical punishment and inductive behavior. Finally, induction is explained according to the child’s gender and the maternal belief about the effectiveness of these inductive behaviors. These results are especially relevant to the field of parenting intervention, underlining the importance of addressing efficacy beliefs to promote behavioral change.
