| Abstract | This paper sought to look at potential differences in parenting styles within and between Jewish-American and Jewish-Iranian families, and their influence on academic achievement and occupational choice. Participants included 428 Jewish-American and Jewish-Iranian American students who completed an online survey consisting of demographic background information, the Parental Authority Questionnaire and the Schwartz Values Survey. Results have suggested that Jewish-Americans and Jewish-Iranian Americans primarily share the same authoritative parenting styles and held similar values. Results also indicated that there were no major differences between Jewish-Americans’ and Jewish-Iranian Americans’ academic achievement and occupational choices. Due to the homogeneity of Jewish-Americans and Jewish-Iranian Americans in terms parenting styles, values, academic achievement and occupational choice, the two were subsequently combined as a single group (American – Jews). A further investigation of the influences of parenting styles and academic achievement of American-Jews on academic achievement and occupational choice was explored. The results found that neither parenting style nor values predicted academic achievement and occupational for American-Jews. The findings in this study support the notion that there are many factors that influence occupational achievement, and that other variables must be investigated when it comes to the academic achievement and occupational choice of Jewish Americans and Jewish-Iranian Americans. |
