Parental Socialization Goals In Five Countries: Measurement Equivalence And Cross-Country Differences, Ronja A. Runge, Renate Soellner
Papers from the International Association for Cross-Cultural Psychology Conferences
Parental socialization goals are informed by culture. In previous research, it was often assumed that parents in western countries value individualistic socialization goals more, while collectivistic socialization goals are more pronounced in eastern countries. In addition, in Kağitçibasi’s framework, the importance of education and rural or urbanized living surroundings is pronounced, resulting in a third type of cultural model, in which individualistic goals are highly valued, but close family ties continue to be important. Previous research has been inconclusive regarding country differences. One major shortcoming is the lack of testing for measurement invariance (MI). Missing MI might bias results. In …
How Collective Childcare Arrangements Are Sustained In Rural China During Socioeconomic Transformation, Xue Jiang
Papers from the International Association for Cross-Cultural Psychology Conferences

Papers from the International Association for Cross-Cultural Psychology Conferences

ARSM is prevalent in collectivistic cultures. Research conducted on diverse national and ethnic groups in Brazil, …
