Parenting Styles and the Development of Children's Cognitive and Non-cognitive Skills—A Dual Perspective Based on Heterogeneity and Mediating Effect Analysis
Based on resource substitution theory and reinforcement of advantage theory,this study explored the mechanisms of the effects of parenting styles on the development of children's cognitive and non-cognitive skills by using the data from China Education Panel Survey during the years of 2013-2014 and 2014-2015 and it also analyzed whether there existed any class het-erogeneity effects across pathways.The findings have shown that:1.compared with neglectful parenting styles,authoritarian,per-missive,and authoritative parenting styles have significant positive effects on both of children's cognitive and non-cognitive skills;2.parenting styles have a greater effect on the development of cognitive skills in disadvantaged class,and there were no het-erogeneous effects on non-cognitive skills;3.achievement goals and emotion management skills,which are included in non-cog-nitive skills,play a mediating role between parenting styles and children's cognitive skills,and the mediating effect tends to be stronger in the disadvantaged class.
