Ethnicity and Parenting Styles Among Singapore Families

Abstract

Despite the hopes for an enlightened 21st century expressed by some scholars and observers, and despite the undeniable technological progress of humankind, culture or ethnic divide will not go away in the foreseeable future. Although each generation of parents tends to differ from the preceding generation in its approach to parenting, the pace and nature of change across generations is restrained or mediated by culture or ethnicity and by level of formal education and other factors. More specifically, within the context of continued social change and change within the family as a group of interactive individuals, it is expected that parents with (a) different ethnic backgrounds, and (b) different levels of formal education, differ significantly in their parenting styles.
