This study investigates children’s social preferences and their associated factors using a longitudinal dataset from an ongoing early childhood panel in rural Thailand with rich information on children, family structure, caregivers, and households. We find several factors, from internalizing behavior problems and child order to family structure and household donation decisions, are correlated with children’s social preferences, whereas other variables, such as screen time, socialization activities, and caregivers’ characteristics, are not.
This study investigates the role of parenting styles in child development in Rural Thailand using early childhood panel data. Our results across various specifications indicate that an authoritarian parenting style was negatively and significantly associated with the child’s non-cognitive skills, whereas results for cognitive skills were generally insignificant. These results imply that parenting styles affect non-cognitive skills, but not cognitive skills, of children aged between five and eleven years. However, we found that the impact of authoritative parenting is less conclusive.
