From The Society Pages:
So how do we explain the differences across racial groups? Parental education and
socioeconomic status are stronger drivers of parenting strategies than differences
in race or culture. Highly educated, middle-class parents are less likely to use corporal
punishment to discipline their children than less-educated, working-class, and poor
parents. Asian Americans are, on average, more highly educated than other Americans,
including whites. … Jennifer Lee is in the sociology department at the University
of California, Irvine and was a Russell Sage Foundation Visiting Scholar for 2011-2012.
