Explain how cultural variations in parenting and the effectiveness of disciplinary techniques may vary by cultural context.

Accepted Answer

Cultural variations in parenting and its effectiveness can be seen in certain communities. For example, in the African American community, there is a common disciplinary style that combines strict control with affection. This is to help children develop self-control and attentiveness. The difference with this parenting style is particularly seen in low-income homes and communities.

It should be noted that the warmth and affection that accompanies the strict control helps to buffer some of the negative consequences of the strictness.
