Abstract
Consequences of the family socialization in the Spanish culture. A socialization model with two dimensions -demandingness and responsiveness- and four typologies -authoritative, indulgent, authoritarian and negligent- has different implications for children of the Spanish culture that in the AngloSaxon culture. The aims of the present research were to confirm that these differences are not due to the effect of the method, and also to replicate previous Spanish studies in which these differences were obtained. Two studies (400 Spanish adolescents in the first one and 4369 in the second one) showed that Spanish children who have received authoritative socialization have the same, or lower, self-concept than children who have received indulgent socialization, the reverse of the relationship found in Anglo-Saxon samples in previous research. These results suggest that the effects of the different socialization typologies cannot be directly generalized to different cultures.
