The study of social and emotional development is recognized for its complexity. To better understand developmental norms, and deviations thereof, researchers typically focus on individual (e.g., temperament), interactional (e.g., parenting behaviors), and relational (e.g., attachment, friendship) levels of analysis. Often forgotten, however, is the extent to which cultural beliefs and norms play a role in the interpretation of the acceptability of individual characteristics and the types and the ranges of interactions and relationships that are likely or permissible. This special issue comprises four sections in which culture is examined insofar as it relates to the aforementioned levels of social analysis: "Emotional Development," "Parenting and Parent-Child Relationships," "Social Cognition and Social Relationships," and "Social and Emotional Adjustment and Maladjustment." Each section is followed by a commentary.
社会和情感发展的研究因其复杂性而为人所知。为了更好地理解发展规范及其偏差，研究人员通常关注个体层面（如气质）、互动层面（如养育行为）和关系层面（如依恋、友谊）的分析。然而，人们常常忽略的是，文化信仰和规范在解释个体特征的可接受性以及可能或允许的互动和关系的类型及范围方面所起的作用。本期特刊包括四个部分，其中探讨了文化与上述社会分析层面的关系：“情感发展”、“养育与亲子关系”、“社会认知与社会关系”以及“社会和情感适应与适应不良”。每个部分之后都有一篇评论。
