Abstract

This study examines the parental socio-cultural and political effects on parenting practices in China. Based on the China Education Panel Survey, we construct a new typology of parenting styles – intensive, permissive, authoritarian and neglectful – and focus on intensive parenting as a particular mode in which the more privileged families in China use superior cultural and political resources to reinforce their advantages. We show that parents in higher class positions, with higher education and with membership in the leading Chinese Communist Party (CCP) tend to adopt intensive parenting as a means of securing all-round development and obtaining favourable academic achievement for their children. Parenting styles thus reflect a more complicated feature of social stratification in China than in Western societies.

中国的不平等教养:社会文化和政治影响研究

本研究考察了中国父母社会文化和政治因素对父母教养行为的影响。在中国教育小组调查的基础上，我们构建了一种新的教养方式类型——集约型、放任型、专制型和忽视型，并将其作为一种特殊的教养模式，在这种模式下，中国更有特权的家庭利用优越的文化和政治资源来强化他们的优势。我们的研究表明，地位较高、受过高等教育、加入中国共产党领导层的父母倾向于采用强化教育作为确保孩子全面发展和取得良好学业成绩的一种手段。因此，与西方社会相比，中国的父母教养方式反映出社会分层更为复杂的特征。

期刊介绍： The Sociological Review has been publishing high quality and innovative articles for over 100 years. During this time we have steadfastly remained a general sociological journal, selecting papers of immediate and lasting significance. Covering all branches of the discipline, including criminology, education, gender, medicine, and organization, our tradition extends to research that is anthropological or philosophical in orientation and analytical or ethnographic in approach. We focus on questions that shape the nature and scope of sociology as well as those that address the changing forms and impact of social relations. In saying this we are not soliciting papers that seek to prescribe methods or dictate perspectives for the discipline. In opening up frontiers and publishing leading-edge research, we see these heterodox issues being settled and unsettled over time by virtue of contributors keeping the debates that occupy sociologists vital and relevant.
