作者使用了1998-1999年幼儿园班级的早期儿童纵向研究，来检验Lareau关于社会阶层差异在养育方面的定性研究的观点。与Lareau一致的是，一个验证性因素分析支持一般协同培养结构——一种包含父母的学校参与、孩子参加课外活动和家中教育材料数量的育儿策略。作者还发现，社会经济地位（SES）是父母使用协同培养的主要相关因素。然而，与Lareau相反，作者发现，即使在控制SES的情况下，协同栽培的种族/民族差异也中等强烈。最后，本研究确定了与协同栽培相关的多种其他家庭特征，净SES。研究结果表明，结合定性和定量方法来理解社会地位的代际传递的效用。
The authors used the Early Childhood Longitudinal Study, Kindergarten Class of 1998-1999, to test ideas from Lareau's qualitative study of social class differences in parenting. Consistent with Lareau, a confirmatory factor analysis supported the general concerted cultivation construct-a parenting strategy that subsumes parents' school engagement, children's participation in extracurricular activities, and the amount of educational materials in the home. The authors also found that socioeconomic status (SES) was the major correlate of parents' use of concerted cultivation. Contrary to Lareau, however, the authors found that racial/ethnic differences in concerted cultivation are moderately strong, even with SES controlled. Finally, this study identified a variety of other family characteristics that are related to concerted cultivation, net of SES. The findings suggest the utility of combining qualitative and quantitative approaches to understand the intergenerational transmission of social status.
