Examining the Association Between Parenting Styles and Social Class

Started June 24, 2024

Abstract or project description

This theoretical review will examine the association between parenting styles and social class, including factors like gender, race/ethnicity, and socioeconomic status. It will also be a literature review, examining various theoretical frameworks and conceptual models to propose new contributions to the literature. The paper is ultimately interested in upward mobility as it transpires across different groups of people. This paper will explore a developmental pathway that articulates the ways in which subjective (or objective social status) develops over time and how that influences family functioning.
