This chapter is organized around four questions concerning parenting: (1) What are the central tasks of parenting? (2) What difference does parenting make in the lives of children? (3) How does context affect parenting? (4) Why do parents invest in their children? Throughout we discuss issues pertaining to the measurement of parenting (a.k.a., the home environment) because it is through the process of measurement that answers about parenting are both realized and constrained.

Data are from the NLSY and the National Household Education Survey.
Socioeconomic status (SES) is one of the most widely studied constructs in the social sciences. Several ways of measuring SES have been proposed, but most include some quantification of family income, parental education, and occupational status. Research shows that SES is associated with a wide array of health, cognitive, and socioemotional outcomes in children, with effects beginning prior to birth and continuing into adulthood. A variety of mechanisms linking SES to child well-being have been proposed, with most involving differences in access to material and social resources or reactions to stress-inducing conditions by both the children themselves and their parents. For children, SES impacts well-being at multiple levels, including both family and neighborhood. Its effects are moderated by children's own characteristics, family characteristics, and external support systems. (PsycINFO Database Record c.)

Home Environments of Children in the United States Part II: Relations with Behavioral Development through Age Thirteen
Child Development 72 (November/December 2001): 1868-1886
Cohort(s): Children of the NLSY79
ID Number: 4031
Publisher: Blackwell Publishing, Inc. => Wiley InterScience

This study examined the frequency with which children were exposed to various parental actions, materials, events, and conditions as part of their home environments, and how these exposures related to their well-being. Part 1 focused on variations by age, ethnicity, and poverty status. In Part 2, relations between major aspects of the home environment (including maternal responsiveness, learning stimulation and spanking) and developmental outcomes for children from birth through age 13 were investigated. The outcomes examined were early motor and social development. vocabulary development, achievement, and behavior problems. These relations were examined in both poor and nonpoor European American, African American, and Hispanic American families using hierarchial linear modeling. The most consistent relations found were those between learning stimulation and children's developmental status, with relations for responsiveness and spanking varying as a function of outcome, age, ethnicity, and poverty status. The evidence indicated slightly stronger relations for younger as compared with older children.

Home Environments of Children in the United States Part I: Variations by Age, Ethnicity, and Poverty Status
Child Development 72,6 (November-December 2001): 1844-1867
Cohort(s): Children of the NLSY79

Although measures of the home environment have gained wide acceptance in the child development literature, what constitutes the "average" or "typical" home environment in the United States, and how this differs across ethnic groups and poverty status is not known. Item-level data from the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth on four age-related versions of the Home Observation for Measurement of the Environment-Short Form (HOME-SF) from five biennial assessments (1986-1994) were analyzed for the total sample and for four major ethnic groups. European Americans, Asian Americans, African Americans, and Hispanic Americans. The percentages of homes receiving credit on each item of all four versions of the HOME-SF are described. For the majority of items at all four age levels differences between poor and nonpoor families were noted. Differences were also obtained among African American, European American, and Hispanic American families, but the magnitude of the effect for poverty status was greater than for ethnicity, and usually absorbed most of the ethnic group effects on HOME-SF items. For every item at every age, the effects of poverty were proportional across European American, African American, and Hispanic American groups.
