Social science has weighed in on the "tiger mom" debate, and it looks like everyone is right: Both over-protective and laid-back mothers can raise successful children.
Three years after Yale law professor Amy Chua’s controversial article, "Why Chinese Mothers Are Superior," in the Wall Street Journal, Stanford researchers Alyssa Fu and Hazel Markus have published a study examining the effectiveness of the【C1】______, high-pressure parenting Chua【C2】______and the more relaxing style【C3】______in European-American culture.
They found both parenting styles can be【C4】______; the key is in how the child views his or her relationship with the mother. In Asian-American culture, children are often expected to rely on their families,【C5】______traditionally European-American families【C6】______value and encourage independence. Parental pressure【C7】______different reactions in each culture: Asian-American students said they felt like parent involvement in their lives is a form of support, while European-American children【C8】______the pressure to perform.
"These findings underline the importance of understanding cultural【C9】______in how people interpret themselves and their relationships to others," the researchers wrote. "European-American mothers who assume that achievement is an individual project may be right to believe that too much involvement can【C10】______motivation. Tiger Mothers who assume that achievement is a group project may be equally right to【C11】______that parental involvement is【C12】______for motivation."
The researchers evaluated these two different parenting【C13】______by analyzing the connections between children’s motivation and their mothers. Across the studies, Asian-American students saw more【C14】______between themselves and their mothers and were more accepting of their mothers’ involvement in their lives. These students viewed pressure from their mothers【C15】______and said it motivated them in times of【C16】______. European-American students, on the other hand, reported feeling more independent from their mothers and seeing pressure to succeed【C17】______a lack of support rather than a source of motivation.
Parents might take some comfort knowing that,【C18】______Chua’s battle cries for stricter childrearing, it looks like parenting isn’t quite so clear-cut And dissatisfied white kids can【C19】______, too: They now have the social science to【C20】______ignoring their mothers.
【C20】
选项
A、interpret
B、observe
C、afford
D、justify
答案
D
解析
空格所在句在冒号后,对前面的句子作进一步解释。虽然“不理会母亲”(ignoring their mothers)是不正确的做法,但孩子却敢于这么做,原因是有“社会科学”帮忙,故选D项justify“证明……有理”。
