      ab: This article presents a comparison of the Chicago and Harvard studies of social class differences in child rearing. The studies revealed that lower class are more severe in punishment in toilet-training to their children, middle class have higher educational expectations of their children, middle class children are allowed more freedom of movement away from home during the day and there is no class difference in the amount of care given to children by father, and in the display of aggression by children in the home. However, there may be cultural differences between two samples of apparently similar occupational status, due to regional differences and differences of nationality background, all of which may have been operating in the studies being considered here. Furthermore, there may be differences between different occupational groups within the same social class. Of considerable importance is the limitation imposed by the method of securing data. To an unknown extent, mothers give what they regard as the "expected" or "appropriate" answers when telling how they raise their children.
