The Development of Close Relationships in Japan and the United States: Paths of Symbiotic Harmony and Generative Tension.
Rothbaum, Fred; Pott, Martha; Azuma, Hiroshi; Miyake, Kazuo; Weisz, John
Child Development, v71 n5 p1121-42 Sep-Oct 2000
Compares paths of development in Japan (symbiotic harmony) and the United States (generative tension) of parent-child and adult mate relationships, challenging assumptions that certain processes are central in all relationships or that U.S. relationships are less valued or weaker than Japan's. Suggests need to investigate processes underlying, and adaptive consequences of, these two paths. (Author/KB)
