Cultural Models, Socialization Goals, and Parenting Ethnotheories

Abstract: This study conceptualizes a cultural model of parenting. It is argued that cultural models are expressed in the degree of familism, which informs socialization goals that are embodied in parenting ethnotheories. Three cultural models were differentiated a priori: independent, interdependent, and autonomous-related.

“…With great caution at this stage of research it could be argued that in this case, the factor of "household and self care activities" may reflect an emphasis of Greek mothers on values such as respect and responsibility; a similar finding has been evidenced by previous research with Greek families (Tamis-Lemonda et al, 2002).

“…Such trajectories have been described as moving towards the socialization of either autonomous/independent selves or towards interdependent selves. Findings in several cross-cultural investigations, carried out by Keller and her colleagues (Keller et al, 2006;Keller et al, 2007;Keller, Borke, Lamm, Lohaus, and Yovsi, 2011; see also Keller, 2007), are representative of these notions of different trajectories of development of the self. In these studies, Keller and colleagues analyzed general orientations concerning parental beliefs, and values among parents of several distinct cultures (German, Euro-American, Greek, Indian, Chinese, Mexican and Costa Rican).…”

“…It combines the features of goals related to both autonomy and interpersonal relationships (Kagitcibasi, 2007;Keller et al, 2006). This trend characterizes societies in transition between collectivism and individualism, such as those living in developing countries like Brazil.…”
