Consequences of family socialization in the Spanish culture. A socialization model with two dimensions ¿ demandingness and responsiveness ¿ and four typologies ¿ authoritative, indulgent, authoritarian and neglectful ¿ has different implications for children in the Spanish culture than for those in English-speaking cultures. 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 different socialization styles cannot be directly generalized to different cultures.
