This investigation was designed to extend the work of Chao (1994) by examining parenting constructs emphasised in Chinese culture conjunction with derived and North America. Mothers preschool-age children from mainland China ( N = 284) United States 237) completed two self-report questionnaires. One assessed dimensions practices (encouragement modesty, protection, directiveness, shaming/love withdrawal, maternal involvement). The second measured specific stylistic within Baumrind’s global...
This investigation examined associations between pre- and postnatal reports of 1st-time mothers' depression, anxiety, marital quality infant temperament changes in feelings efficacy. Maternal efficacy measured prenatally was associated with concurrent measures conflict, levels previous child-care experience. Mothers' perception postnatally accounted for a significant proportion variance maternal Although individual differences women's were fairly stable, increases also observed over time....
To assess whether subtypes of withdrawal could be similarly identified by teachers and linked to peer group adjustment in mainland China, Russia, the United States, 642 4- 6-year-old children these diverse cultural contexts were rated on items reflecting reticent, solitary-passive, solitary-active, sociable behaviour (cf. Coplan & Rubin, 1998). Linkages childhood also investigated using sociometric ratings. Findings, based multisample confirmatory factor analysis, indicated that separate...
The purpose of this investigation was to examine comparable dimensions and linkages between child temperament parenting styles with samples from Beijing, China the western United States. Participants included 404 mothers fathers 325 Both completed Buss Plomin's (1984) EAS Temperament Scale as well a spousal-report measure styles. Structural equation modelling used identify invariant (statistically comparable) factors for Within-culture gender comparisons showed that Chinese (relative...
Interruptions to parent-child interactions due technology, or "technoference," have been correlated with a host of negative child developmental outcomes. Yet, the influence technoference on parent-infant and infant behaviors has received less attention more experimental work is warranted. For this study, dyads (n = 227) completed modified still-face paradigm (SFP) using mobile phone during phase. Infant responses were coded for positive affect, object parent orientation, self-comforting,...
Abstract Given the prevalence of mobile device use, especially among parents young children, current study examines impact distraction ( technoference ) on toddlers’ physiological and emotional functioning. We suspected that would demonstrate difficultly maintaining homeostasis when became distracted by a device. In this study, we examined (N = 129, M age 29.05 months) behavioral responses across three conditions in an induced task mimicked elements traditional still face paradigm (i.e.,...
Infants' unitary perception of their multisensory world, including learning from people (faces and speech), hinges on temporal synchrony. Despite its importance, relatively little work has investigated the brain processes involved in infants' In two experiments, we examined event-related potentials (ERPs) to asynchronous synchronous audio-visual speech infants. Both experiments showed early auditory P2 was greater for synchronously presented pairings later attentional processing (Nc)...
This study is an investigation of linkages between marital quality (conflict and harmony) infants' emotional physiological regulation: It was hypothesized that infants exposed to greater levels conflict would demonstrate lower regulation. Fifty‐six low‐risk their mothers attended a laboratory session when were 6 months age. A baseline EKG gathered assess cardiac vagal tone the Bayley Scales Infant Development Behavior Rating administered. Mothers also completed Braiker Kelley's (1979)...
This study compared parenting across four non-Western cultures to test cross-cultural commonality and specificity principles in three aspects: measurement properties, normativeness, their associations with child outcomes. Both mothers fathers (N = 1509 dyads) preschool-aged children (M 5.00 years; 48% girls) from urban areas of countries (Malaysia, N 372; China, 441; Turkey, 402; Japan, 294) reported on constructs (authoritative, authoritarian, group harmony socialization, intrusive control)...
This investigation explored links between mother-infant coregulated communication patterns and infants' emerging parasympathetic regulatory processes (cardiac vagal tone). Participants included 56 first-time mothers their 6-mo.-old infants (31 girls, 25 boys). A 4-mm. baseline EKG was gathered from the infant an ensuing 15-min. dyadic free-play episode videotaped coded using Fogel's 1994 Regional Coding System. system developed to describe variations in features of among dyads, ranging...

Abstract Behavioral work demonstrates human infants are sensitive to a host of intersensory properties and this sensitivity promotes early learning memory. However, little is known regarding the neural basis ability in infants. Using event‐related potentials (ERPs) with adults, we show that during passive viewing auditory evoked brain responses increased presence simultaneous visual stimulation. Results converge previous adult neuroimaging studies, single‐cell recordings nonhuman animals,...
This study assesses the relationships between children's shy and antisocial/aggressive behaviors maternal beliefs, concomitant parenting behaviors. Structural equation models examined 199 mothers' perceptions of aggression shyness in their preschool-age children (average age = 59.63 months); beliefs (i.e., locus control, perceived harm, efficacy) about aggression, respectively; reported authoritarian, authoritative, permissive). Results suggest both are negatively associated with efficacy...
This study examines the early emergence of sensory reactivity and novelty awareness their relations to children's behaviours with peers. A total 260 parents (242 mothers, 18 fathers) 10 teachers children (131 male, 129 female; M = 63 months; SD 8.80; range 39–81) participated. Structural equation models indicate that reactive appear be less social (i.e. prosocial friendly), more likely engage in solitary‐active play behaviour, prone utilize instrumental aggression peer interactions. Children...
