Strictness and Kindness:Parenting Style and Non-cognitive Ability of Urban and Rural Children
The construction of a family education guidance service system that covers both urban and rural areas to promote educational equity and common prosperity is of concern to all sectors of society,and understanding the current state of parenting style in both urban and rural areas and predicting the effects of improvement is a fundamental part of this endeavor.Based on the China Education Panel Survey(CEPS)data,it found that there was no significant difference in"strictness"parenting between urban and rural areas,but the proportion of"kindness"parenting among rural parents is significantly lower than that of urban parents.The parenting style of"strictness"and"kindness"both can significantly promote the development of the non-cognitive ability of urban and rural children,and the emphasis on"strictness"and light"kindness"in rural family upbringing is an important reason why the non-cognitive ability of rural children is lower than that of urban children.It is predicted that if the proportion of"kindness"parenting in rural areas increases to the level of the urban average,the gap between urban and rural children's non-cognitive abilities of extraversion,agreeableness,neuroticism,openness,and conscientiousness will be reduced by 31.58%,40.40%,47.67%,30.00%,and 74.19%,respectively.In the future,family education guidance services must focus on urban and rural differences,help parents in rural areas build a strict and loving parenting concept,and promote the sound development of children's personalities.
