Parent Education in Popular Literature: 1950-1970

Abstract

Content analyses of popular literature publications have been performed for data from 1820 to 1948. The purposes of the present study were to extend these analyses to present times and to describe what were advocated as good childrearing procedures over the past 20 years. Results indicated that during the years 1950 to 1970, the primary topics of interest in three women's magazines were socialization of children (24 percent), parent child relations (20 percent), and developmental stages (17 percent). Changes in advice-giving indicated a shift from encouraging parents to rear children to conform with anticipated adult life styles to rearing children to become self-actualizing individuals.
