Affluent families:

- parents practice symbolic deprivation

- children argue that they need this or that item to be socially accepted

- A child's plea based on social acceptance sways the parents

Lower-income Families:

- children argue that they need this or that item to be socially accepted

- A child's plea based on social acceptance sways the parents

- parents practice symbolic indulgence

Explanation:

In the Sociological Conversations video, Allison Pugh is interviewed by Dalton Conley to explain her findings on consumer culture and socioeconomic classes. She found that low-income parents have a tendency to use symbolic indulgence whereas high-income parents favored symbolic deprivation.

In both cases, the parents choose either strategy based on their economical status, to guarantee that their children fit in socially, meaning that the parents are concerned about the kids feeling different from others.
