DESCRIPTION:Leading theories suggest that parenting in the United States v
 aries widely by socioeconomic status\, with middle-class parents practicin
 g “concerted cultivation”—marked by parents’ intensive efforts to 
 foster their children’s development—and working-class parents engaging
  in the “accomplishment of natural growth”—with children given more 
 freedom to manage their own time. First\, I show how developmental spendin
 g by parents on children has changed over time and across the socioeconomi
 c spectrum in the U.S. However\, it is unclear how much these findings ref
 lect differing cultural logics of what makes for good parenting or reflect
  differences in the resources required to enact the types of parenting tha
 t parents believe would be best. Second\, I present a novel way to study p
 arenting logics using computational text analysis of parenting advice give
 n by survey respondents to hypothetical parenting situations. Using Biterm
  Topic Modeling we find that nearly all parenting logics reflect some form
  of intensive parenting\, but within that are multiple nuanced versions va
 rying across two dimensions: (1) assertive vs negotiated parenting\, and (
 2) pedagogic vs pragmatic parenting. Third\, using fractional multinomial 
 logistic regression\, I show there is little difference in how parenting l
 ogics vary by race/ethnicity\, education\, and income\, suggesting more si
 milarity across groups and more variability within groups than commonly un
 derstood. This work is part of a broader project to understand the socioec
 onomic correlates of parenting and their implications for children’s out
 comes.\nSpeakers:\nPat Hastings (Colorado State University (Nuffield Colle
