How does my child recognize care in the ways our family expresses it?
This article addresses cultural variation in parents’ and children’s accounts of family warmth.
Who was studied?
1,219 parent-adolescent pairs across 12 cultural groups in nine countries
Age / stage: Late childhood to adolescence
Read with three questions
- How did the authors investigate cultural variation in parents’ and children’s accounts of family warmth?
- Was the proposed family influence measured before the outcome, and who remained at follow-up?
- Did agreement about warmth play the same role at all three ages and across the 12 cultural groups?
Keep the limits in view
The meaning of a warmth rating can vary across cultural groups and raters. A five-year pattern cannot fix that meaning for each family.
