This article reviews contemporary research on cross-cultural similarities and differences in parenting. The article begins by providing a definition of culture and how both parenting and culture can change over historical time. The article then presents some classic theoretical frameworks for understanding culture and parenting before considering why parenting may be similar across cultures and why parenting may be different across cultures. The article next turns to a review of cross-cultural similarities and differences in several aspects of parenting, including physical caregiving, cognitive stimulation, warmth and acceptance, control and monitoring, and discipline. Cultural normativeness and beliefs on the legitimacy of parental authority are then considered as potential moderators that contribute to cross-cultural similarities and differences in relations between parenting and child outcomes. The article then considers implications for parenting interventions and laws and policies related to parenting. Finally, the article suggests directions for future research.
本文回顾了关于育儿中跨文化相似性和差异性的当代研究。文章首先提供了文化的定义,以及育儿和文化如何随着时间的推移而发生变化。接着,本文提出了一些理解文化和育儿的经典理论框架,然后考虑了为什么育儿在文化之间可能相似,以及为什么育儿在文化之间可能不同。接下来,本文转向对育儿的几个方面的跨文化相似性和差异性的综述,包括身体照顾、认知刺激、温暖和接纳、控制和监督以及纪律。然后,考虑了文化规范和对父母权威合法性的信念,这些因素可能是导致育儿与儿童发展结果之间的关系存在跨文化相似性和差异性的潜在调节因素。本文接着考虑了对育儿干预和与育儿相关的法律和政策的影响。最后,本文提出了未来研究的方向。
