Article Abstract:
Researchers developed a model to give insight into the relationship between social class and parenting behaviors. Application of the model to a sample of 237 parents supports the hypothesis that parental perspective taking is an influential variable in the relationship between social class and childrearing behavior, and that parental value orientations are not causally related to childrearing behavior. The study revealed that parental perspective mediates between social class and childrearing behavior whilst also influencing parental value orientation.

Article Abstract:
The relationship of activities of parents on the educational achievement of their children was examined using data from the German Socioeconomic Panel. The parental activities considered were cultural events, popular culture, sports, socializing, volunteer work, helping and political activities. The fathers' participation in sports was found to have a high correlation with the attainments of children. The results further revealed that fathers engaged in socializing have a lower probability of having children who attend gymnasiums.
