Ruth K. Chao

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Ruth K. Chao is an American psychologist. She graduated from the University of California, Los Angeles with a PhD in 1992 and is currently teaching and researching at the University of California, Riverside .

Focus of work

Chaos The focus of work is home education in Asian - especially Chinese - immigrant families, a topic that is of particular interest in the USA because this population group is currently one of the most successful in the American education system and clearly outperforms even Americans of European descent. Chao emerged as a critic of Diana Baumrind's classification of styles of upbringing (authoritarian - authoritative - permissive), which she accuses of ethnocentrism . As she has repeatedly emphasized, Chinese upbringing is based on cultural foundations ( Confucianism ), which elude scientific assessment if the Chinese upbringing style is measured according to Baumrind's all too crude scheme.
