Description
Summary:This study applies and builds on Davis and Rigaux’s (J Consum Res 1(1):51–62, 1974) triangle of spousal dominance styles of family purchase decisions. We explored adolescents’ perceptions of parents’ dominance in family decisions by investigating mother–father relative influence (MFRI) and responsibility sharing with family for 15 issues relating to vacations. The results, derived from data collected in 25 societies, demonstrate a tendency toward an autonomic style of parents’ decision-making for all sub-decisions and all societies except Turkey. Overall, both decision phases and cultural regions correlated with democratization of family vacation decisions. The relationship between sex-role specialization and societal cluster differed across sub-decision clusters. Further, societal effectiveness in general, individualism and long-term orientation were positively correlated with MFRI.
