The purpose of this study is to examine the characteristics of parenting culture in families from San Luis Potosí by exploring the orientations they follow in raising children, emotional ties and patterns of success, and associating them with biographical characteristics. The study was carried out in the metropolitan area of San Luis Potosí, Mexico, and 1,008 families with different levels of education participated. A mediational instrument with 12 attributional items was used to explore four parenting models. The results revealed parents’ preference for diplomatic or rigid orientations; strong, close emotional ties; and guiding patterns of success. Lenient child-raising orientations, basic emotional ties and encouraging and emancipatory success patterns were found to a lesser extent.
