Inspired by Melvin Kohn and his colleagues, data gathered from various countries over the last three decades have shown that class structure is a significant aspect in understanding how parents socialize their children. Middle-class parents have consistently demonstrated different child-rearing patterns in contrast with their working-class counterpart. Parent's occupation, with the concomitant contextual requirement, is thus argued to impose preferential values with regard to child-rearing practice. The conclusion appears to be universally valid and becomes a consensus. This study argues that besides the manifest effect of parent's occupation, the social norms imbedded may serve a more powerful explanation and should be taken into account. It is long been recognized that cultural practice (including family socialization) is constrained by common social values which are diverse and sometimes opposite among different societies. Specifically, filial piety, interpersonal harmony, honor and trust, etc. are deep-rooted Asian values, and are not necessarily equivalent to Western values of obedience and popularity. It will be interesting to explore possible effects on the intergenerational transmission of family values between cultural norms and personal resources.
