Cross-Cultural Differences in Childrearing Goals.
Hoffman, Lois Wladis
New Directions for Child Development, v40 p99-122 Sum 1988
Data from eight countries were analyzed to explore hypotheses about cross-cultural differences in childrearing patterns. Particular attention is given to LeVine's and Kohn's theories, and Hoffman and Hoffman's new theory that contends that children satisfy certain parental needs and that the satisfaction of specific needs affects parents' childrearing orientations.
