SOC Some research has shown that families vary by how they socialize their children to sports, games, and other leisure-time activities.

In middle-class families, such activities are carefully monitored by parents and are, in general, dominated by adults (for example, Little League baseball). In working-class families, children more often organize and initiate such activities themselves, and parents are much less involved

(for example, sandlot or playground baseball games). Are the data below consistent with these fi ndings? Summarize your conclusions in a few sentences.
