“…Middle-class fathers also emphasized values connected to benevolence, such as 'loving' and 'honest'. This presented an overall picture of inner-city fathers consistent with previous research on the 'working class' (Freeberg & Payne, 1967)' indicating that working-class fathers are more likely to emphasize conformity and obedience than middle-class fathers. 'Honesty' was defined in the survey as 'sincere' and 'truthful' (Rokeach, 1968).…”

“…In the sparse literature on fathering, social class has been shown to be a major moderator of paternal behavior, with working class (essentially lower class, in current terms) fathers more likely to demand conformity and obedience than middle-class fathers (Freeberg & Payne, 1967). Shared images of fatherhood-the norms, values, and beliefs surrounding fatherhood and its associated roles-include both stereotype and ideal images (Marsiglio, 1995b).…”

“…The authors hypothesized that at this time, social class, functioning as both an identity and culture, would differentiate the fathers' expressed values. Specifically, based on the research with lower class fathers (Freeberg & Payne, 1967) and with inner-city and middle-class mothers (Minton, et al, submitted) described above, the authors hypothesized that, among other differences, lower class inner-city fathers would place a higher value on conformity and obedience than would middle-class fathers.…”

The paternal role has been neglected in parenting research. The present study focused on the values of fathers of newborns. Values of fathers of newborns drawn from the inner-city lower-class were compared with values of fathers of newborns drawn from the middle class. Highest goals of fathers from both groups for themselves were economic ('family security'); values for their children were morally focused ('honest'). Inner-city fathers placed a higher value on a clean and obedient child, whereas middle-class fathers placed a higher value on a loving and imaginative child. When values of these fathers were compared with values of a similar sample of mothers of newborns, socioeconomic status remained an important predictor of values. Sex of parent was significant in the inner-city sample as these fathers placed a higher valuation on goals associated with autonomy than did inner-city mothers.

“…Une des caractkristiques de ces deux series de travaux est le fait que leurs auteurs se proposent de produire une description complete des relations entre parents et enfantstelles que les variables choisies les dkfinissentainsi qu'une caracterisation des dimensions sousjacentes a la diversite des comportements et attitudes parentales. D'autres travaux ont portk sur les effets du milieu familial ainsi dkfini sur le developpement de l'enfant (Freeberg et Payne, 1967et 1976b ou sur la relation de dkpendance des pratiques familiales dkcrites, par rapport a des variables mtsologiques plus larges (Bronfrenbrenner, 1958;Bernstein, 1975). D'autres travaux, Cgalement tres nombreux, sont centrks sur les effets d'un aspect particulier des pratiques parentales sur le developpement de l'enfant.…”
