| Sumario: | This article presents information on social class differences. It is the object of this article to demonstrate that differential aggression patterns are the consequence of social class membership. Social classes differ with respect to the feeding of infants, weaning and the use of pacifiers; bowel and bladder control and the assumption of responsibilities in the household. In other words, the techniques employed in the care and rearing of children are culturally patterned and therefore tend to be similar within a social class. Lower classes are reported to have a psychologically close hierarchical and rigid parent-child relationship while middle classes are more ostensibly equalitarian and flexible in this regard. At the same time lower classes tend to be more permissive with respect to outside activities than the upper classes. The middle class is more concerned with fostering parentally trained independence in their children by clearly defining the extent of outside activities that may be sought. Maintenance of supervision by the withdrawal of approval makes the middle class child aware of the importance of proper behavior which may be defined as conformity to class standards. |
