The Effects of Sociodemographic Background on the Conception of Gypsy Parenting and Growing Up

Summary/Abstract: On a sample of 800 Gypsy parents it was examined to what extent the conception of Gypsy parenting and growing up had been determined by sociodemographic variables like age, the number of children, education and housing. Parenting has not been researched at a model level, but through aspects of parenting and growing up being illustrative of Gypsy parents (child care quality, parents' attitudes about when their children should get married, start making a living and become independent). In addition, the role of physical punishment was especially analyzed. Differences in understanding parenting and growing up among parents of different sociodemographic backgrounds have been tested by using hi-square test. It turns out that the Gypsy conception of parenting and growing up has been significantly influenced by parental education, the number of children and housing condition.
