This research examined parents' restriction of children's peer relationships in the United States and China. American and Chinese children ( = 934; = 12.67 years) reported on their parents' peer restriction (e.g., limiting children's time with peers) and their behavioral and psychological adjustment 3 times over a year. Increments in parents' peer restriction predicted decrements in children's adjustment over time to a similar extent in the United States and China. However, decrements in children's adjustment predicted increments in parents' peer restriction over time to a greater extent in the United States (vs. China). Thus, it is possible that culture contributes to the socialization process involving parents' restriction of children's peer relationships but only via child-driven pathways.

这项研究考察了美国和中国父母对孩子同伴关系的限制。美国和中国的儿童（n = 934；年龄 = 12.67 岁）在一年的时间里三次报告了父母对其同伴关系的限制（例如，限制孩子与同伴相处的时间）以及他们的行为和心理适应情况。在美国和中国，父母对同伴关系的限制程度的增加与孩子的适应程度的下降在时间上具有相似的相关性。然而，与中国相比，美国儿童适应程度的下降与父母对同伴关系的限制程度的增加在时间上具有更强的相关性。因此，文化可能有助于涉及父母限制孩子同伴关系的社会化过程，但这种影响仅通过儿童驱动的途径产生。
