Self in Context: Autonomy and Relatedness in Japanese and U.S. Mother-Preschooler Dyads.
Dennis, Tracy A.; Cole, Pamela M.; Zahn-Waxler, Carolyn; Mizuta, Ichiro
Child Development, v73 n6 p1803-17 Nov-Dec 2002
This study examined cultural differences and similarities in socialization during free play and a waiting task among Japanese mothers and their preschoolers temporarily residing in the United States and U.S. mothers and their preschoolers. Findings suggest an emphasis on autonomy among U.S. dyads and an emphasis on relatedness among Japanese dyads, but the interactions with task context revealed the coexistence of autonomy and relatedness.
