Briefly describe the demographics for your interviewees and how they were different.
The interviewees were three hundred in total, all of whom were sourced from an area of four hundred square meters. The ages groups of the interviewees were distributed into five clusters; 20s, 30s, 40,50s and those in their 60s.This way, it is easier to sample through the generational changes that take place through time.In a bid to spread the survey a lot further, the groups were separated into ethnic clusters.The idea is to give the rough idea of the differences in the various races parenting objectives, as much as the similarities and whether these differences affected the children; positively or negatively. The main clusters comprise of; Asian, African American, Indian, Alaskan natives,Latinos, European, Native Americans. The study further considered the economical clusters, to eliminate the biases of social classing in the survey.

This was attributed the fact that the well-up families provide better chances to their children to thrive upon. To the children of the wealthy, their parents are role models, combining this factor with that of opening doors for them, it becomes clear why most of these children make it in life. In the same light, these parents feel proud of their parenting skills and as a result feel at ease discussing issues of parenting in great detail. On the contrary majority the parents that are not doing so well financially and socially did not enjoy the interview. Age and the social class, of the parents who were interviewed were the two main factors that affected how well the respondents answered the questions.
