This research examined relations between parenting styles and children's social status. Seventy-eight families and their children from Boston, Massachusetts and Tallahassee, Florida constituted the sample for this study. To determine parenting style, parents completed the Parenting Styles and Dimensions Questionnaire, whereas children completed a peer-rating measure. This research also examined sex of parent, sex of child, socioeconomic status, and race as mediating variables. It was found that parenting styles did not relate to children's social status. The only variable that mediated this relationship was racial identity. Implications of these findings are discussed in relation to future research. / A Thesis submitted to the Department of Family and Child Science in partial
