Social-Class Differences

Variations in attitudes, behaviors, and opportunities based on economic status or social standing within society.

Authoritative Parenting

This style encourages children to be independent but still places limits and controls on their actions. Extensive verbal give-and-take is allowed, and parents are warm and nurturant toward the child. This style is associated with children’s social competence, achievement orientation, and self-reliance.

Permissive Parenting

A parenting style characterized by low demands with high responsiveness, where parents are generally lenient and allow considerable self-regulation.
