This study examines cultural patterning in situational variability in mother-infant interactions among middle-class Anglo and Puerto Rican mothers and their 12 to 15-month-old firstborn children. Forty mothers were interviewed regarding their long-term socialization goals and childrearing strategies, and videotaped interacting with their infants in four everyday settings: feeding, social play, teaching, and free play. Results suggest that: (1) Anglo mothers place greater emphasis on socialization goals and childrearing strategies consonant with a more individualistic orientation, whereas Puerto Rican mothers place greater focus on goals and strategies consistent with a more sociocentric orientation; (2) coherence was found between mothers' childrearing beliefs and practices, with Puerto Rican mothers more likely to directly structure their infants' behaviors; and (3) situational variability arose in mother-infant interactions, but this variability showed a cultural patterning consistent with mothers' long-term socialization goals and childrearing beliefs.
本研究考察了美国中产阶级盎格鲁母亲和波多黎各母亲及其12至15个月大的头胎子女在母婴互动情境变异性中的文化模式。研究人员就40位母亲的长期社会化目标和育儿策略进行了访谈，并拍摄了她们在四种日常场景（喂食、社交游戏、教学和自由玩耍）中与婴儿互动的视频。结果表明：（1）盎格鲁母亲更加强调与个人主义倾向相符的社会化目标和育儿策略，而波多黎各母亲则更关注与社会中心取向一致的目标和策略；（2）发现母亲的育儿信念和实践之间具有连贯性，波多黎各母亲更有可能直接规范婴儿的行为；（3）母婴互动中出现了情境变异性，但这种变异性呈现出与母亲长期社会化目标和育儿信念相符的文化模式。
