This report examines cross-cultural differences in response style regarding the use of rating scales Subjects were high school students 944 from Sendai (Japan), 1,357 Taipei (Taiwan), 687 Edmonton and Calgary (Canada), 2,174 Minneapolis metropolitan area Fairfax County, Virginia Responses to fifty-seven 7-point Likert-type analyzed The Japanese Chinese more likely than two North American groups midpoint on scales, U S subjects other three extreme values Within each cultural group,...
The major purpose of this study was to attempt understand some the reasons for high academic achievement Chinese and Japanese children compared American children. conducted with first fifth graders attending elementary schools in Minneapolis metropolitan area, Taipei (Taiwan), Sendai (Japan). 1,440 (240 240 each city) were selected as target subjects study. from 20 classrooms at grade city constituted a representative sample these classrooms. In follow-up study, studied again when they...
This study examined the motivation and mathematics achievement of Asian-American, Caucasian-American, East Asian students. Subjects were 304 1,958 1,475 Chinese (Taiwan), 1,120 Japanese eleventh graders (mean age = 17.6 years). Students given a curriculum-based test questionnaire. Mathematics scores Asian-American students higher than those Caucasian-American but lower Factors associated with included having parents peers who hold high standards, believing that road to success is through...
A decade of heightened emphasis in the United States on mathematics and science education has had little influence academic achievement or parental attitudes. American elementary school children 1990 lagged behind their Chinese Japanese peers to as great a degree they did 1980. Comparison performance secondary students between 1980 reveals decline from first eleventh grade relative position mathematics. Parental satisfaction with students' remains high standards remain low. Innate ability...
One, Two, Three, Remember Me When a stimulus (such as word or face) is presented for the second, third, fourth time, do neural representations differ? And, if they do, are multiply represented stimuli remembered better? These questions and related ones have fascinated psychologists decades, but only recently has it become feasible to begin tackling them using neuroimaging. Xue et al. (p. 97 , published online 9 September) provide evidence that greater similarity in patterns of activity...
The neural mechanism of leader emergence is not well understood. This study investigated (i) whether interpersonal synchronization (INS) plays an important role in emergence, and (ii) INS are associated with the frequency or quality communications. Eleven three-member groups were asked to perform a leaderless group discussion (LGD) task, their brain activities recorded via functional near infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS)-based hyperscanning. Video recordings discussions coded for leadership...
Objective To examine the moderating effects of gender, grade level, and ethnicity on associations between violence exposure adolescents' internalizing symptoms externalizing behavior to explore whether such relationships persist over time. Method A survey violence, symptoms, was administered 2 cross-sectional samples 6th, 8th, 10th graders (N = 2,748 in 1994 2,600 1996) an urban school system. Approximately 1,100 adolescents participated both surveys served as longitudinal sample. Results...
This study examined perceived parent-adolescent relationships and depressed mood among 173 early adolescents 297 college students, all of European or Asian American background.Ethnic differences in mood, not evident the adolescent sample, emerged with Americans reporting more symptoms.Ethnic were reduced to nonsignificance when quality was statistically controlled.The magnitude associations between measures strikingly similar for at same phase adolescence.As anticipated, accounted variance...
School achievement among black, white, and Hispanic elementary school children was investigated, efforts were made to study the beliefs about academic of their mothers. A total approximately 3,000 first, third, fifth graders enrolled in 20 schools Chicago metropolitan area given tests mathematics reading. Black performed at a significantly lower level than white children, but grade ethnic differences scores no longer significant when mothers' education statistically controlled. This not case...
An association of the dopamine receptor D4 (DRD4) gene located on chromosome 11p15.5 and attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) has been demonstrated replicated by multiple investigators. A specific allele [the 7-repeat a 48-bp variable number tandem repeats (VNTR) in exon 3] proposed as an etiological factor attentional deficits manifested some children diagnosed with this disorder. In current study, we evaluated ADHD subgroups defined presence or absence DRD4 gene, using...
This paper describes traditional and modern Chinese cultural values regarding educational achievement how they are reflected in the beliefs of parents children. philosophy traditionally has emphasized human malleability value self-improvement. set higher standards work more often with their children on homework than American counterparts, help to ensure that diligently. These factors may explain superior performance cross-national comparisons mathematics achievement.
Abstract As part of a larger program research on the nature adolescents' relationships with very important nonparental adults (hereafter referred to as “VIPs”), community sample 243 eleventh graders (mean age = 16.6 years) was surveyed, and subgroup 55 adolescents their VIPs were interviewed about quality relationships. Results showed that (a) adolescent–VIP normative component adolescent development, not result problems in lives; (b) generally high (e.g., support, low conflict, mutuality);...
Cultural differences in the amount of time spent on homework and beliefs attitudes about were investigated through interviews with more than 3,500 elementary school children, their mothers, teachers. The children lived 5 cities: Beijing, Chicago, Minneapolis, Sendai (Japan), Taipei. Chinese assigned Japanese who turn American children. also received help from family members found to have positive children; children's between those Relations by parents assisting homework, achievement...
First and fifth graders in Beijing Chicago were given a battery of mathematics test. Whether tested with problems requiring solely computation or ones application knowledge about mathematics, American children's performance was consistently inferior to that Chinese children. Interviews children suggested they like believe are doing well do not perceive as difficult subject. poor appears be attributable, part, low motivation for devoting more attention mathematics. Low standards held by...
This study examined the correlates of symptoms depressed mood among adolescents in 2 dramatically different cultures (n = 502 Tianjin, People's Republic China; n 201 greater Los Angeles). Gender, stressful life events, perceived parental warmth, and conflict with parents were associated expected direction depressive each cultural setting. As predicted, regression analyses showed that quality family relationships grades school had significantly stronger associations Chinese youths than U.S....

Psychological maladjustment and its relation to academic achievement, parental expectations, satisfaction were studied in a cross-national sample of 1,386 American, 1,633 Chinese, 1,247 Japanese eleventh-grade students. 5 indices included measures stress, depressed mood, anxiety, aggression, somatic complaints. Asian students reported higher levels expectation lower concerning achievement than their American peers. Nevertheless, less fewer complaints did Chinese aggressive feelings...
Previous research has consistently demonstrated the importance of parents’ expectations and adolescents’ on academic achievement. Less is known, however, about reciprocal relationships among these constructs. To address this issue, we analyzed two waves data from National Education Longitudinal Study 1988 (NELS:88) using longitudinal cross-lagged path models. The sample consisted 14,376 students (51.1% females; 6.5% Asian, 11.1% Hispanic, 9.2% African American, 73.2% White). Results...
