本研究探讨了社会经济和文化因素在解释种族差异的监测，行为控制，和温暖的一系列协调研究的一部分，在这个特殊的问题。社会经济变量包括母亲和父亲的教育水平，就业状况，房屋所有权，家庭中兄弟姐妹的数量和单亲状况。文化因素包括国籍或种族、儿童的移民身份、母亲/父亲到达美国的年龄、母亲/父亲与儿童使用英语的情况、儿童的母语流利程度以及独立和相互依存的文化价值观。样本包括591名欧洲裔美国人，123名非洲裔美国人，1，614名亚裔美国人和597名拉丁裔学生。所有少数族裔群体的行为控制高于欧洲裔美国人，拉丁裔也高于欧洲裔美国人的监测。然而，欧洲裔美国人比亚裔美国人和非洲裔美国人更喜欢父母的温暖。即使在控制了社会经济因素之后，这些族裔群体的差异基本上仍然存在。最后，在亚洲和拉丁裔群体内的分析中，由于民族或种族，青年的母语流利程度和相互依存的文化价值观，两个群体内的育儿差异被发现，尽管独立的价值观也与亚裔美国人的育儿有关。
This study examined both socioeconomic and Cultural factors in explaining ethnic differences in monitoring, behavioral control, and warmth-part of a series of coordinated studies presented in this special issue. Socioeconomic variables included mother's and father's educational levels, employment status, home ownership, number of siblings in the household, and single parent status. Cultural factors included nationality or ethnicity, immigrant status of child, mother's/father's age of arrival in the United States, mother's/father's English language use with the child, child's native fluency, and cultural values for independence and interdependence. The sample consisted of 591 European American, 123 African American, 1,614 Asian American, and 597 Latino Students in the ninth grade. All the ethnic minority groups were higher than European Americans on behavioral control, and Latinos were also higher than European Americans on monitoring. However, European Americans were higher on parental warmth than Asian Americans and African Americans. These ethnic group differences primarily remained even after controlling for the socioeconomic factors. Finally, in analyses looking within the Asian and Latino groups, differences in parenting were found within both groups due to nationality or ethnicity, youth's fluency in the native language, and cultural values of interdependence, although values of independence were also related to the parenting of Asian Americans.
