Research comparing the predictive power of parents' control and autonomy support in the United States and China has relied almost exclusively on children's reports. Such reports may lead to inaccurate conclusions if they do not reflect parents' practices to the same extent in the two countries. A total of 394 American and Chinese children (M = 13.19 years) and their mothers reported on mothers' controlling and autonomy-supportive parenting in the academic arena; trained observers coded such parenting in the laboratory. Children's reports were associated modestly with mothers' reports and weakly, if at all, with observers' reports in both the United States and China. Parenting predicted children's academic and emotional functioning similarly in the two countries, irrespective of reporter.
一项比较美国家庭和中国家庭中父母控制与自主性支持的预测能力的研究几乎完全依赖于孩子的报告。如果这些报告不能同等程度地反映两国父母的实际做法，可能会得出不准确的结论。共有394名美国和中国儿童（平均年龄M = 13.19岁）及其母亲报告了母亲在学业方面的控制型和自主性支持型养育方式；训练有素的观察员在实验室对这种养育方式进行了编码。在美国和中国，孩子的报告与母亲的报告有适度关联，与观察员的报告则关联较弱，甚至几乎没有关联。无论报告者是谁，两国的养育方式对孩子学业和情绪功能的预测情况相似。
