“…Socialization processes may reflect explicit/intentional and/or implicit/unintentional messages communicated primarily via basic principles of social learning, including imitation or modeling of a valued other and/or positive or negative reinforcement of particular attitudes, behaviors, and values by those valued others (see Elder, 1968;Kandel & Andrews, 1987 for reviews). Indeed, one of the primary mechanisms through which educators, psychologists, and sociologists have posited that messages regarding class are transmitted in families is via parenting practices and the impact of those practices on child and adolescent behavior (e.g., Arnett, 1995;Calarco, 2014;Lareau, 2011). The dearth of psychological research on socialization of status in families in general or White poor in particular is perhaps surprising then, given strides made in convincingly demonstrating that parents have the capacity to prepare their children for the complex challenges of navigating other marginalized identities, most notably race and ethnicity (see Stein et al 2018 in this Special Issue).…”
