Maternal Roles and Social Competence: Parent-Infant Interactions in Two Cultures.
McCollum, Jeanette A.; Chen, Yu-Jun
Early Child Development and Care, v166 p119-33 Feb 2001
A study compared Euro-American and Taiwanese mothers' descriptions of the social competence benefits of early parent-child interaction and what they do during interactions to achieve these benefits. Visual analysis of probability patterns indicated that mothers in each group thought somewhat differently about their roles in developing different aspects of their babies' social competence. (TJQ)
