“…First, parents tend to be role models and agents of socialization whose attitudes, values, and behaviors are likely to be imitated by their children. According to Schneewind (1995), parents who are able to maintain positive family relationships and to provide emotional support for their children might foster adolescents' own feelings of competence. Both assumptions were supported by the findings in the current study.…”

“…Harsh parental discipline tends to be associated with aggression in children that might lead to further deviant acts, especially if parents are not consistent with punishment. In general and in accordance with the principles of differential association, imitation, and differential reinforcement, children who grow up in families that convey an atmosphere of mutual respect and trust and who are subjected to a discipline style that is consistent and fair rather than erratic and arbitrary are most likely to feel in control of their environment and least likely to act out (Schneewind, 1995).…”

“…For example, the long term effects of early family experiences on beliefs of personal efficacy in young adulthood along with the intergenerational transmission of efficacy beliefs have been well documented in Schneewind (1995); the role of parents has been stressed in political attitudes (Hess and Torney, 1967), in the perception of leadership (Hartman and Harris, 1992), and also in the children's choice of career (Dryler, 1998). As one focuses on economic behavior within a family, an important target for parental influence concerns the attitudes towards consumption and savings (Moschis, 1987).…”

Motives for pocket money allowance and family incentives

To explain motives underlying intergenerational transfers within a family, economists put two theoretical hypotheses forward: altruism and exchange. Empirical tests performed until now do not favor any of these models. One reason to explain this inadequacy could lie in the spurious assumption of homogeneity of behaviors. Little consideration has been given, in the study of motives, to the possibility that one or the other model could be more appropriate to characterize the behavior of a particular group. And the assumption that a single transfer motivation would be universally true seems to be questionable.This paper seeks to thoroughly analyze the diversity of inter vivos transfers' motivations through the study of a theme that economists have so far ignored: pocket money. This is done by using a particularly rich data set about parental money pocket given to children. The Education survey, carried out in 1992 in France, offers two main advantages for this study. First, it provides information both on the level of financial gifts and on parents and children's characteristics, including both generations' level of income. Second, some specific questions straightforwardly give information about these transfers' motivations. Two kinds of payment are distinguished: those given regularly, and those given punctually to meet the child's needs, to pay for some household chores, or to reward good results at school.Three models explaining these transfers from parents to children are presented theoretically. The flows of money may be motivated by altruism, exchange, or an endogenous altruism linked to preferences shaping. These three hypotheses generate differentiated predictions, which allow to identify family motivations in France. The econometric analysis puts forward the heterogeneity of family choices. It underlines the shortcomings of an aggregate approach in which payments are studied for households taken together. In this case, the test of unitary difference in income-transfer derivatives rejects the altruistic model. At a disaggregated level, regular payments must be distinguished form irregular ones. The former fit in an intertemporal framework, the latter are nearer altruistic motivations. But among them, buying of children's services and school rewards also exist.

“…En outre, la conviction du parent d'être capable d'accomplir avec compétence les activités nécessaires aux soins et à l'éducation de l'enfant s'avère une variable déterminante (Bandura, 1986 ;Schneewind, 1995 ;Teti et Gelfand, 1991).…”

Les relations entre les conditions de pauvreté et la qualité du développement des enfants sont désormais connues ; la nécessité d'intervenir tôt et de façon intensive également. L'initiative communautaire 1,2,3 GO ! (visant l'empowerment des communautés et de leurs membres) s'appuie sur un modèle d'organisation hiérarchique du développement de l'enfant et sur le modèle écologique-transactionnel. Elle a trois buts complémentaires : promouvoir le développement physique, cognitif, social et affectif des tout-petits ; assurer le soutien aux parents et aux intervenants ; soutenir les efforts de prise en charge de la communauté pour offrir aux parents et aux tout-petits un environnement stimulant, bienveillant et chaleureux. Cet article vise à faire connaître l'initiative 1,2,3 GO !. Il décrit le processus de sa mise sur pied, présente ses fondements théoriques et débouche sur la description d'exemples concrets d'activités réalisées auprès des enfants et des familles depuis sa mise sur pied.
