• The role of youth throughout the world is one of the most significant aspects of present-day societies. Sometimes the value of a society is judged on the basis of its youth population since young people are the ones who will take the initiative in the society's future. Therefore, it is of the utmost significance to study the people of the next generation, especially in terms of the socialization pattern of youth. The patterns of youth socialization of 635 Japanese, 391 Indians, and 139 American high school seniors were studied. The report is based on their rating on the 18 parent practice items employed by their fathers and mothers. A 2×2 factorial design of sex of parent and of respondent was constructed for each of the parent practice items for Japanese, Indian, and American data. Four major findings emerged. First, high reliability and adequate validity for the Cornell Parent Behavior Description were obtained. This fact substantiated our use of the scale in cross-cultural studies, not only in child socialization but also in youth socialization. Secondly, an overall pattern of youth socialization in these three societies revealed that Indian parents resembled closely their American counterparts where a high degree of support, control, and punishment were directed at youth. Thirdly, boys and girls across societies tended to be exposed to different kinds of parental socialization pressures, i.e., such demensions as achievement and self-reliance were stressed in the case of boys, whereas nurturance, obedience, and responsibility were stressed in the case of girls. Fourthly, even though the mother tends to be the major socialization agent in our society, there existed a different degree of participation by mothers and fathers in these three societies: mothers in Japan and India took the initiative in this area as opposed to the joint participation of American parents. It is apparent that the sex of the parents and the children was the crucial factor in the study of youth socialization. In addition, the socialization of youth reflects the socio-cultural characteristics of each particular society. A new trend of "Androgyny" may possibly alter the patterns of youth socialization in the foreseeable future.
