Abstract

The finding of Sears, Maccoby & Levin (1957) that in the U.S.A. middle‐class mothers are more permissive and less punitive in socializing their children than working‐class mothers was made the basis of a similar investigation in Britain. It was found (1) that in Britain also middle‐class mothers are more permissive and less punitive towards their children's unsocialized behaviour; (2) British mothers as a whole are less permissive and more punitive than American mothers.
