In a cross-society comparison, we assessed the state of mothers' knowledge of child rearing and child development. The study included 1,077 mothers from five countries on four continents: Argentina, Belgium, Italy, South Korea, and the United States. A criteria-referenced instrument, the Knowledge of Infant Development Inventory, was used to assess parenting knowledge after being adapted for cross-society comparison using item response theory and the alignment optimization approach for testing between-sample measurement invariance. Levels of mothers' parenting knowledge varied across the five societies and were associated with different sociodemographic factors and personal and non-personal supports.
在一项跨社会比较中,我们评估了母亲对育儿和儿童发展的知识水平。该研究纳入了来自四大洲五个国家的1077名母亲:阿根廷、比利时、意大利、韩国和美国。我们使用了一种标准参照工具——婴儿发展知识量表,在通过项目反应理论和用于检验样本间测量不变性的校准优化方法进行跨社会比较适应性调整后,来评估育儿知识。五个社会中母亲的育儿知识水平各不相同,且与不同的社会人口学因素以及个人和非个人支持相关。
