Child-Rearing Attitudes and Behavioral Inhibition in Chinese and Canadian Toddlers: A Cross-Cultural Study.
Chen, Xinyin; And Others
Developmental Psychology, v34 n4 p677-86 Jul 1998
Collected behavioral inhibition data from Chinese and Canadian 2-year-olds, and obtained information on mothers' child-rearing attitudes and beliefs. Found that Chinese toddlers were significantly more inhibited than Canadians. For Canadians, inhibition was associated positively with mothers' punishment orientation and negatively with mothers' acceptance and encouragement of achievement; directions of the relations were opposite for Chinese.
