Recent work suggests that the dynorphin (DYN)/kappa opioid receptor (KOR) system may be a key mediator in the behavioral effects of alcohol. The objective of the present study was to examine the ability of the KOR antagonist norbinaltorphimine (norBNI) to attenuate relapse to ethanol seeking due to priming injections of the KOR agonist U50,488 at time points consistent with KOR selectivity. Male Wistar rats were trained to self-administer a 10% ethanol solution, and then responding was extinguished. Following extinction, rats were injected with U50,488 (0.1–10 mg/kg, i.p.) or saline and were tested for the reinstatement of ethanol seeking. Next, the …

The Socratic Method: Empirical Assessment Of A Psychology Capstone Course, Lawrence R. Burns, Paul L. Stephenson, Katy Bellamy
Peer Reviewed Articles
Although students make some epistemological progress during college, most graduate without developing meaning-making strategies that reflect an understanding that knowledge is socially constructed. Using a pre-test–post-test design and a within-subjects 2 × 2 mixed-design ANOVA, this study reports on empirical findings which support the Socratic method of teaching as effective in challenging and changing psychology capstone students’ levels of epistemological maturity as measured by the Learning Environment Preferences survey and Perry’s model of intellectual maturity.
Do Individual-Level Value Preferences Impact Country-Level Social Cohesion? An Exploratory Multi-Level Analysis Based On Ess Data, Mandy Boehnke, Klaus Boehnke
Do Individual-Level Value Preferences Impact Country-Level Social Cohesion? An Exploratory Multi-Level Analysis Based On Ess Data, Mandy Boehnke, Klaus Boehnke
Papers from the International Association for Cross-Cultural Psychology Conferences
This chapter links macro-level social cohesion to individual value preferences. It explores the predictive, concomitant, and consequential character of cohesion in relation to individual value preferences. Is it that prior cohesion predicts later value preferences? Or is it that certain earlier value preferences impact later social cohesion? Or is there, if at all, only contemporaneous covariation? To answer these research questions, ESS values data from rounds 1-4 (2002, 2004, 2006, and 2008 waves) were separately linked with country-level social cohesion scores from (1) a prior time period, (2) the same time period, and (3) a later time period [e.g., ESS …
Who Is Friends With Whom? Patterns Of Inter- And Intraethnic Friendships Of Mainstream And Immigrant Early Adolescents In Germany, Maja K. Schachner, Fons J. R. Van De Vijver, Alaina Brenick, Peter Noack
Who Is Friends With Whom? Patterns Of Inter- And Intraethnic Friendships Of Mainstream And Immigrant Early Adolescents In Germany, Maja K. Schachner, Fons J. R. Van De Vijver, Alaina Brenick, Peter Noack
Papers from the International Association for Cross-Cultural Psychology Conferences
Multiethnic schools provide opportunities for interethnic contact and the development of positive interethnic relations. Yet, some children develop such relations more easily than others. In the present study, we were interested in patterns of inter- and intraethnic friendships and the relative likeability of certain ethnic groups in ethnically heterogeneous schools. The sample comprised 842 early adolescents (Mage = 11.50 years, SDage = .71; 53% male) from 64 countries of origin who attend multiethnic schools in Southwest Germany. In line with our expectations, interethnic friendships are to a large extent formed on the basis of cultural distance, with more …
Suicide And Culture: Exploring Country-Level Relations Between Suicide Rates And Dimensions Of Cultural Variability, Miriam J. Schwarzenthal, Taciano L. Milfont
Suicide And Culture: Exploring Country-Level Relations Between Suicide Rates And Dimensions Of Cultural Variability, Miriam J. Schwarzenthal, Taciano L. Milfont
Papers from the International Association for Cross-Cultural Psychology Conferences
Suicide rates vary considerably between nations. This observation suggests that sociocultural characteristics of nations might play an important role in explaining suicidal behavior. In this study we examined country-level associations between suicide rates and dimensions of cultural variability while adjusting for gross domestic product per capita. While some characteristics of modern culture such as intellectual autonomy and secular-rational values were associated with higher suicide rates, characteristics of postmodern societies such as self-expression values and egalitarian commitment were associated with lower suicide rates. Exploratory analyses also showed meaningful associations between suicide rates and other measures of cultural variability such as societal …
How Do Acts Of Penance Influence Intergroup Forgiveness?, Marta Penczek-Zapala
How Do Acts Of Penance Influence Intergroup Forgiveness?, Marta Penczek-Zapala
Papers from the International Association for Cross-Cultural Psychology Conferences
In the current paper the problems of penance and remorse in intergroup relations, as well as their influence on forgiveness are investigated. We argue that repent can be expressed in multiple ways, which vary in their effectiveness, because of differences in evaluation of their genuineness. Results obtained in an experimental study conducted among 271 Polish students suggest that indeed act of penance alone has no direct influence on willingness to forgive. On the other hand, genuineness of the outgroup conciliatory actions and remorse facilitates forgiveness. Also, it is shown that acts of penance, as well as outgroup remorse may break …
Cultural Perspectives On Ingroups Versus Outgroups And Shame Experiences, Bai Lin, Bee Chin Ng
Cultural Perspectives On Ingroups Versus Outgroups And Shame Experiences, Bai Lin, Bee Chin Ng
Papers from the International Association for Cross-Cultural Psychology Conferences
The concept of self varies across cultures: in some cultures, individuals tend to see themselves as interdependent on others, and clear distinction is made between in-groups and out-groups because in-group members are seen as part of the “BIG SELF”. In other cultures individuals see themselves as independent and autonomous and have a less salient boundary between in-groups and out-groups. Little empirical work has been done on how such different cultural perspectives on in-groups, versus out-groups, shape emotional experiences. Although emotions are always internally experienced, these experiences often involve interpersonal and social interactions, and therefore how we think of ourselves in …
Role Of Empowering Leadership In Absorptive Capacity Through Outcome Interdependence: A Cultural Perspective, Rishabh Rai, Anand Prakash
Role Of Empowering Leadership In Absorptive Capacity Through Outcome Interdependence: A Cultural Perspective, Rishabh Rai, Anand Prakash
Papers from the International Association for Cross-Cultural Psychology Conferences
This study explores the influence process involved in the relationship between empowering leadership and absorptive capacity. On 217 samples from manufacturing and service organizations, the study has found that outcome interdependence mediated the relationship between empowering leadership and knowledge identification, knowledge assimilation, knowledge dissemination, and knowledge application. The findings show that members’ empowerment is essential for inducing them to engage in knowledge processes.
Depression And Help Seeking In The Sri Lankan-Australian And Anglo-Australian Community: A Qualitative Exploration-Preliminary Findings, Josefine Antoniades, Bianca Brijnath
Depression And Help Seeking In The Sri Lankan-Australian And Anglo-Australian Community: A Qualitative Exploration-Preliminary Findings, Josefine Antoniades, Bianca Brijnath
Papers from the International Association for Cross-Cultural Psychology Conferences
This study compared cultural variances in the understanding of depression, help seeking and management strategies between Anglo-Australians and Sri Lankan immigrants with depression, one of the fastest growing immigrant communities in Australia. From 2012-2104 Sri Lankan (n=18) and Anglo-Australians (n=30) participants living with depression took part in semi-structured interviews. Participant eligibility was verified by significant levels of depression on the DSM IV and K10. Sri Lankans and Anglo-Australians expressed overlap in the experience in symptoms, yet differences in beliefs related to the etiology of depression; in general, Sri Lankan migrants attributed depressive symptoms to ongoing social problems whereas Anglos-Australians generally …
Culture Contact And The Development Of Intercultural Sensitivity, Julien Teyssier, Patrick Denoux, Anna Bayard-Richez
Culture Contact And The Development Of Intercultural Sensitivity, Julien Teyssier, Patrick Denoux, Anna Bayard-Richez
Papers from the International Association for Cross-Cultural Psychology Conferences
The theory exhibited here is rooted in a culture-contact psychology perspective. It gives a central role to interculturation, transitory psychological reactions and intercultural sensitivity in such a way that the hypothesis investigated is thus expressed: “lasting critical culture-contact experience implies the development of intercultural sensitivity”. The content of this postulate requires that the study focus on distinct cultural areas. This is why the inhabitants of the cities of Buenos Aires (Argentina), Hong Kong (China) and Toulouse (France) were selected to answer a multidimensional questionnaire (n = 209), deriving from a theoretical approach and allowing the proposed hypothesis to be tested, …
Intercultural Competencies To Overcome Trauma, Anna Bayard-Richez, Patrick Denoux, Julien Teyssier
Intercultural Competencies To Overcome Trauma, Anna Bayard-Richez, Patrick Denoux, Julien Teyssier
Papers from the International Association for Cross-Cultural Psychology Conferences
This research aims to implement a set of questions linked to two theoretical approaches: French intercultural psychology, in terms of culture contact psychology, and intercultural clinical psychology of trauma. We examine the alleviation of trauma from the development of intercultural competencies involved in cultural contacts. We advance the hypothesis of a link between the development of intercultural skills and the reduction of trauma. We contend that these two concepts are connected through creative resolution strategies and that people confront a traumatic situation that doesn’t make sense, whether from a perpetrator or from another culture encounter. In our first set of …
When Arab Girls Break The Rules: A Qualitative Study, Camelia Ibrahim-Nassar
When Arab Girls Break The Rules: A Qualitative Study, Camelia Ibrahim-Nassar
Papers from the International Association for Cross-Cultural Psychology Conferences
Much has been written about the social control of Arab girls as one of the parental practices in a collective culture. Most girls are subject to strict rules and modesty codes and only a few dare to confront their culture by breaking the rules and engaging in risky unacceptable behavior. In this study, we interviewed eight such girls to examine why, when, and how they defied acceptable social norms and the consequences they suffered. Interestingly, the experience of risk taking yielded narratives that revealed a search for personal, social, and gender identity and highlighted the effect of the strictness of …
How Does Income Inequality Get Under The Skin? The Mediating Role Of Perceived Age Discrimination In The Inequality- Health Nexus For Older And Younger People, Christin-Melanie Vauclair, Sibila Marques, Maria Luísa Lima, Dominic Abrams, Hannah Swift, Christopher Bratt
How Does Income Inequality Get Under The Skin? The Mediating Role Of Perceived Age Discrimination In The Inequality- Health Nexus For Older And Younger People, Christin-Melanie Vauclair, Sibila Marques, Maria Luísa Lima, Dominic Abrams, Hannah Swift, Christopher Bratt
Papers from the International Association for Cross-Cultural Psychology Conferences
The relative income hypothesis predicts poorer health in societies with greater income inequality, yet the psychological mechanisms that explain this association are not clear to date. This study tests the hypothesis that perceived age discrimination acts as a mediator in the inequality-health nexus for people who categorize themselves as old. It is expected that the detrimental mediating effect of perceived age discrimination does not occur for those who categorize themselves as young, since their low status is only temporary until they move to the higher status middle-aged group. A cross-sectional multilevel analysis of the 2008/09 European Social Survey (ESS, Round …
Attitude Toward Multiculturalism: Majority In The Minority Perspective, Elke Murdock, Dieter Ferrings
Attitude Toward Multiculturalism: Majority In The Minority Perspective, Elke Murdock, Dieter Ferrings
Papers from the International Association for Cross-Cultural Psychology Conferences
Even within a globalizing world, Luxembourg takes an exceptional position with a foreign population of 44%. In the capital of Luxembourg, home to one-fifth of the country’s population, native members make up only 33% of the population. Outwardly the cosmopolitan diversity is praised, but how does the native population, which finds itself in the minority in its own capital, perceive this increasingly plural composition of society? To investigate this specific “majority-as-minority” perspective, we conducted a quantitative study within a Luxembourg employer (N = 507) with a large native-born workforce. We examined the endorsement of multiculturalism with an adapted version of …
(De)Constructing Multiculturalism: A Discourse Analysis Of Immigration And Refugee System In Canadian Media, Kim H. Chuong, Saba Safdat
(De)Constructing Multiculturalism: A Discourse Analysis Of Immigration And Refugee System In Canadian Media, Kim H. Chuong, Saba Safdat
Papers from the International Association for Cross-Cultural Psychology Conferences
A succession of policy changes to the immigration and refugee system has been made in Canada in recent years by the Conservative federal government. Since most people’s understandings about immigration issues come from exposure to the news, the media have an important role in producing and reproducing prevalent public opinions to support and legitimize, or criticize, social and political actions. The present study examines how the immigration and refugee policy changes have been represented in mainstream print media and provides an important interface between recent political decision-making and society with regard to immigration issues. In our analysis, we demonstrate that …
Who I Am Depends On Where I Am: The Impact Of A Sojourn On Home And Host Country Identity, Regina Arant, Thomas Kühn, Klaus Boehnke
Who I Am Depends On Where I Am: The Impact Of A Sojourn On Home And Host Country Identity, Regina Arant, Thomas Kühn, Klaus Boehnke
Papers from the International Association for Cross-Cultural Psychology Conferences
Acculturation research convincingly demonstrates that moving to a foreign country may not only cause adaptive changes in an individual’s home country identity but may as well initiate the identification with the receiving society. Nevertheless, the knowledge on how identity formation is influenced by the migration process itself and in how far it may differ for temporary migrants, such as sojourners, is still fragmented. Therefore, this paper aims at extending the existing research by applying a longitudinal mixed methods approach; 176 German high school students were surveyed before, during and after spending one year in the US. Analyses reveal that, in …
Determinants Of Social Prejudice And Factors Influencing Perception Of Immigrant Groups In Georgia, Medea Despotashvili
Determinants Of Social Prejudice And Factors Influencing Perception Of Immigrant Groups In Georgia, Medea Despotashvili
Papers from the International Association for Cross-Cultural Psychology Conferences
Outgroup perception and prejudice as well as researched social cognition processes, still provide new perspectives of analysis. Social Dominance Orientation (SDO) and Right Wing Authoritarianism (RWA) constructs are proved to moderate prejudice formation. Our research aimed to look at these processes in specifically Georgian context. We duplicated experimental procedure offered by Duckitt and Sibley (2009), to look at the relationship between prejudice formation and RWA / SDO in different experimental conditions. Our data enabled to analyze this relationship in terms of overall social processes, where challenges facing particular groups of people (like generation in our case) can make certain qualities …
Haidawood: A Social Media Approach To Indigenous Language Revitalization, Kenneth Rajan Leslie
Haidawood: A Social Media Approach To Indigenous Language Revitalization, Kenneth Rajan Leslie
Papers from the International Association for Cross-Cultural Psychology Conferences
British Columbia is home to 34 different Indigenous languages, most of which are in danger of losing fluency due to the combined effects of introduced diseases and assimilationist Indian Residential Schools. The Haida language, or Xaad Kil (pronounced “haad kill”), is considered critically endangered with only 9 elderly fluent speakers left. Many Haida believe that revitalizing Xaad Kil is important for keeping their culture alive: they see Xaad Kil as a cultural keystone that keeps worldview, artistic expression, food gathering, dances, stories, and songs integrated together as a unified whole. Xaad Kil also helps assert Aboriginal land rights: identification of …

Toward The Theoretical Constructs Of East Asian Cultural Psychology, Weijun Ma, Rui Feng, Rui Hu, Juzhe Xi, Edward Fox, Xia Ding
Papers from the International Association for Cross-Cultural Psychology Conferences
The core values of traditional Chinese Confucian culture such as “five virtues”, “five cardinal relationships”, and the thought of “golden mean” exert significant influence on East Asian culture, including Chinese, Japanese, and Korean cultures. In recent years, with the rapid development of the studies of cultural psychology in East Asian cultural circles, it is necessary to conduct the theoretical constructs to integrate the common psychological characteristics in East Asian cultural circle. The theoretical constructs of East Asian Cultural Psychology regard the impacts of traditional Confucian culture on East Asian culture and the individual as its core, and focus on self-construal, …
Why Do Cultural Differences So Often Trump Cross-Cultural Invariance?, Ype H. Poortinga
Why Do Cultural Differences So Often Trump Cross-Cultural Invariance?, Ype H. Poortinga
Papers from the International Association for Cross-Cultural Psychology Conferences
In this roundtable discussion I will advocate balancing psychological invariance and cultural variation. There are large and evident differences between the behavior repertoires of human groups. Cross-cultural researchers have endeavored to explain such differences in terms of broad and inclusive sociocultural dimensions, styles and traits. Among other contributions to this roundtable, I will argue that psychological patterning of cross-cultural differences is much less coherent than our literature tends to suggest. Admittedly, this is a serious challenge; if correct, it implies that cross-cultural psychology tends to engage in cultural stereotyping.
Culture + Behaviour + Comparison = Cross-Cultural Psychology, John W. Berry
Culture + Behaviour + Comparison = Cross-Cultural Psychology, John W. Berry
Papers from the International Association for Cross-Cultural Psychology Conferences
For many years I have advocated the view that cross-cultural psychology should have the following characteristics: it begins with an ethnographic search to select those settings that may provide the cultural and ecological contexts that are theoretically-relevant to the development of the particular behaviour of interest; this is followed by advancing hypotheses that link the context to the behaviour; then fieldwork is undertaken to further examine these cultural attributes, and to carry out the assessment of the behaviour of individuals. These activities are carried out across contexts for three reasons: (i) in order to gain sufficient variation in the cultural …
From Diversity To Systematic Patterns And Integrative Syntheses: A Journey In Cross-Cultural Psychology, Cigdem Kagitcibasi
From Diversity To Systematic Patterns And Integrative Syntheses: A Journey In Cross-Cultural Psychology, Cigdem Kagitcibasi
Papers from the International Association for Cross-Cultural Psychology Conferences
The evolution of cross-cultural psychology started with studies of differences, advanced to examining systematic patterns and currently is involved with possible Integrative syntheses. The beginnings of cross-cultural psychology, closely allied with anthropology, involved European and North American scientists’ search for human differences in “exotic” places. With the internationalization of the field, research is now carried out mostly in contemporary societies. With large comparative data sets systematic patterns are revealed, for example in values. The next step, which may have already started, is likely to integrate cultural differences with similarities adaptive to increasingly similar urban life styles. Such syntheses promise to …
Subjective Well-Being From The Perspective Of Self-Compassion In Adolescents, Annisa Reginasart, Uly Gusniarti
Subjective Well-Being From The Perspective Of Self-Compassion In Adolescents, Annisa Reginasart, Uly Gusniarti
Papers from the International Association for Cross-Cultural Psychology Conferences
The aims of this study was to determine the relationship between self-compassion and subjective well-being in adolescents. The proposed hypothesis is that higher self-compassion correlates with higher subjective well-being. Boy and girl adolescent students (ages14 to 20 years old) were the subject of research as students. Data are collected using the scale on terms of the scale -compassion theory suggested by Neff (2012) and subjective well-being adapted from Diener (1984). Data were analyzed with the using Pearson Product-Moment analysis. Results showed that self-compassion is positively correlated with subjective well-being with the value of (r =0.487; p = 0.000 [ …
Culture Display Rules Of Smiling And Personal Well-Being: Mutually Reinforcing Or Compensatory Phenomena? Polish - Canadian Comparisons, Daniela Hekiert, Saba Safdar, Pawel Boski, Kuba Krys, J Rees Lewis
Culture Display Rules Of Smiling And Personal Well-Being: Mutually Reinforcing Or Compensatory Phenomena? Polish - Canadian Comparisons, Daniela Hekiert, Saba Safdar, Pawel Boski, Kuba Krys, J Rees Lewis
Papers from the International Association for Cross-Cultural Psychology Conferences
Cultures vary in terms of emotional display rules, which include the expression of satisfaction and dissatisfaction. In Poland there is a norm of negativity, deriving from a culture of complaining (Wojciszke & Baryła, 2005), whereas in Canada, there is a tendency to express happiness (Safdar, Friedlmeier, Matsumoto, Yoo, Kwantes, Kakai, & Shigemasu, E., 2009). In the present research project, norms and values regarding smiling in public situations, norms regarding the affirmation of life and complaining, as well as individual measures of optimism (LOT-R) and well-being (SWLS) were measured among Poles and Canadians. The results showed that the cultural display rules …
A Cross-Cultural Study Of Psychological Well-Being Among British And Malaysian Fire Fighters, Mohd. Dahlan Hj. A. Malek, Ida Shafinaz Mohd
A Cross-Cultural Study Of Psychological Well-Being Among British And Malaysian Fire Fighters, Mohd. Dahlan Hj. A. Malek, Ida Shafinaz Mohd
Papers from the International Association for Cross-Cultural Psychology Conferences
Psychological consideration has always been a part of society and it usually relates to values, beliefs, ethnicity and gender. This is the essence of cultural psychology. In recent times, this branch of psychology has developed the new arm of Cross-Cultural Psychology, an extension of psychology covering the influence on behaviour when cultural groups interact. This study is a comparative study of two cultural groups, namely Malaysian and British fire fighters. Sources of occupational stress and their impact on psychological wellbeing were examined in a questionnaire survey of 1053 British and Malaysian fire fighters. The role of coping strategies as moderating …

Сulture, Stress And Coping: Socio-Cultural Context Influence On Coping Types Among Russians, Tatiana Kryukova, Tatiana Gushchina, Olga Ekimchik
Papers from the International Association for Cross-Cultural Psychology Conferences
The paper presents a new psychometric adaptation of the cross-cultural coping scale for the Russian-speaking sample (Cross-Cultural Coping Scale by B. Kuo et al., 2006, Canada: Kuo, Roysircar, Newby-Clark, 2006) and a research made with its help, answering the questions: Do Russians cope with stress? What are socio-cultural contexts of coping in the time of cultural transition? The tool explores the influence of the socio-cultural context on the respondents’ choice between three types of coping. The influence of cultural context on coping and its intensity has been confirmed in this study. The situational context has the greatest impact on …
A Comparative Study Of Jajonshim And Self-Esteem, Shinhwa Suh, Min Han, Joane Adeclas
A Comparative Study Of Jajonshim And Self-Esteem, Shinhwa Suh, Min Han, Joane Adeclas
Papers from the International Association for Cross-Cultural Psychology Conferences
The Korean dictionary of psychology terms includes the word jajonshim, which means “self-esteem.” However, the meaning of jajonshim as Koreans use it is different from the meaning of self-esteem. Thus, we perform two studies to clarify the concept of jajonshim and to demonstrate how it differs from self-esteem. The purpose of Study 1 is to determine the socio-cultural meanings of jajonshim by examining its shared social representation in Korean culture. We ask open-ended questions and conduct a literature review related to jajonshim. The results of the text analysis show that Koreans perceive jajonshim as something that a person …
Self-Blaming And Other-Blaming Moral Emotions Are Complementary: Two Studies In Turkish Culture, Diane Sunar, Özlem Çağın Tosun, Tuğçe Tokuş
Self-Blaming And Other-Blaming Moral Emotions Are Complementary: Two Studies In Turkish Culture, Diane Sunar, Özlem Çağın Tosun, Tuğçe Tokuş
Papers from the International Association for Cross-Cultural Psychology Conferences
The present paper reports results of empirical investigation for a model that posits a complementary relationship between self-blaming and other-blaming emotions and suggests that distinctive relationships between them depend on the relational context and associated moral codes. Relevant findings of two studies in Turkish culture that examined different aspects of the model are presented. The first study provided partial support for the relationship between shame- and guilt-proneness and relational model preferences. The findings of the second study revealed strong support for the complementary relationship (1) between shame related to rejection or exclusion and disgust in contexts that represented the communal …
The Quiet Ego And Its Predictors In Turkish Culture, Ece Akca Nebi Sumer
The Quiet Ego And Its Predictors In Turkish Culture, Ece Akca Nebi Sumer
Papers from the International Association for Cross-Cultural Psychology Conferences
Although high self-esteem has been seen as a panacea for all sorts of personal and social problems for a long time, recent research has shown its potential negative effects. The concept of quiet ego, defined as a balanced integration with others by turning down the volume of the ego (Bauer & Wayment, 2008), has been coined as a plausible alternative that can mitigate negative effects of fragile high self-esteem. This study aims to examine psychometric properties of the Quiet Ego Scale in Turkish culture, and to investigate its correlates related to personality traits, culture, and well-being. A total of 254 …
Cross-Cultural Differences In The Use Of Disciplinary Methods Among Chinese, Immigrant Chinese And English Mothers, Ching-Yu Huang
Cross-Cultural Differences In The Use Of Disciplinary Methods Among Chinese, Immigrant Chinese And English Mothers, Ching-Yu Huang
Papers from the International Association for Cross-Cultural Psychology Conferences
Researchers have long studied parenting practices, and have recently paid increasing attention to cross-cultural differences. Unfortunately, most of the research has only examined self-report data; studies including both self-report and observational data are still very rare. This study examined the disciplinary methods of mothers (of 5- to 7-year-old children) in a cross-cultural sample (N = 89: 30 Chinese in Taiwan, 30 Chinese immigrants in the UK, and 29 non-immigrant white English in the UK) using both questionnaires and observational data. Cultural differences were found between groups both in reported, as well as observed parenting. The Taiwanese mothers reported greater …
