Development and cross-national validation of a revised version of the Berkeley Parenting Self-efficacy Scale
Parenting and young children’s emotional self-regulation in urban Korean families
The present study was designed to examine the relationship of Korean mothers’ psychological resources and discipline style to their children’s emotional self-regulation development. Structural equation modeling was conducted with a sample of 234 Korean mothers of kindergarten-aged children in the Incheon area in South Korea. The results indicated that maternal harshness negatively predicted and inconsistency positively predicted children’s emotio…

How Can Developmentalists Deepen Theory and Research on Ethnicity
Per Gjerde's compelling essay [this issue] explores many important questions about the construct of ethnicity. Indeed, the issues he raises are certainly not limited to the field of developmental psychology, but rather are worth the consideration of any developmentalist interested in ethnicity, culture, and race. For the most part, Gjerde's essay focuses largely on ethnic self-identification. In this commentary, we extend his approach to the lite…
Broken Compass or Broken System? Questioning the Role of Parent Involvement in Promoting Student Achievement
My Mom Tells Me I Should Follow the Rules, That’s Why They Have Those Rules”
Relatively little research has examined the ways in which immigrant Latino parents can effectively support their adolescent children’s schooling. To address this gap, we conducted in-depth interviews with 32 Mexican-heritage 9th graders. Students identified parents’ advice giving as the most salient form of involvement. Parental advice emphasized the importance of persisting in school, avoiding hardship as experienced by parents, and exhibiting s…
Fathering
I opened this book with many basic questions about fathers. What do we really mean by ''fathering'' and what, if anything, is unique - much less essential - about the role of the father? How much should we pay attention to biological versus ''social'' connections between fathers and children? Have fathers changed a surprisingly lot - or a surprisingly little - in the last century, and in what ways? I was especially interested to learn how these q…
What Makes Students Engaged in Learning? A Time-Use Study of Within- and Between-Individual Predictors of Emotional Engagement in Low-Performing High Schools
Parental Expectations and Children's Academic Performance in Sociocultural Context
In this paper, we review research on parental expectations and their effects on student achievement within and across diverse racial and ethnic groups. Our review suggests that the level of parental expectations varies by racial/ethnic group, and that students' previous academic performance is a less influential determinant of parental expectations among racial/ethnic minority parents than among European American parents. To explain this pattern,…
Women and Family in Contemporary Japan
Japanese women, singled out for their commitment to the role of housewife and mother, are now postponing marriage and bearing fewer children. Japan has become one of the least fertile and fastest aging countries in the world. Why are so many Japanese women opting out of family life? To answer this question, the author draws on in-depth interviews and extensive survey data to examine Japanese mothers' perspectives and experiences of marriage, pare…
Parenting Self-Efficacy and Social Support in Japan and the United States
To understand the conditions that give rise to parenting self-efficacy in Japan and the United States, the authors have investigated its relation to the perceptions of support available to mothers of children in the final year of preschool ( N = 235; n = 121 in United States, n = 114 in Japan). Hierarchical regression analysis indicates that in both countries, women who experience higher parenting self-efficacy report more positive childhood memo…
Building and using a social network
Little research has examined how low-income Asian American children are supported to achieve well in school. The authors used the notion of social capital to study higher versus lower achieving Chinese adolescents from low-income backgrounds. They found that families of higher-achieving adolescents built and used more effectively three kinds of social networks in lieu of direct parental involvement: (a) designating a helper in and outside the hom…
Schooling, Peer Relations, and Family Life of Russian Adolescents
In the Russian Federation, a growing emphasis on individualism and a profusion of educational options create challenges and opportunities for adolescents making the transition to secondary school. To investigate Russian students' perspectives during this important developmental period, we conducted two openended interviews with 32 ninth graders and obtained achievement data from their teachers. Most students reported having autonomy regarding the…

Maternal involvement in preschool children's education in Japan
Relation of Maternal Role Concepts to Parenting, Employment Choices, and Life Satisfaction Among Japanese Women
Parenting Self-Efficacy Among Japanese Mothers
International comparisons find that Japanese mothers are generally effective in supporting their children's social, emotional, and cognitive development. Yet, many appear to lack a sense of efficacy in the role of parent compared to mothers in other industrialized countries. To explore this paradox, we designed a study to examine the following sources of self-efficacy in Japanese mothers: representations of their childhood relationships with moth…

How Do Mothers Choose Child Care? Alternative Cultural Models in Poor Neighborhoods
The dominant focus on structured variation in parents' actions across vertically defined social classes (from the inequality or the culture-ofpoverty perspective) continues to eclipse recent work on between-family variability within poor communities. Yet new research is emphasizing the variety of cultural models, kin supports, and parenting practices that circulate in low-income neighborhoods. This article details how 14 working-poor mothers act …

Families and Child Care
The authors outline two perspectives on the respective roles of families and preschools in socializing and educating young children. The family-oriented perspective emphasizes the primacy of parents as educators, moral guides, and nurturers of their children. The early childhood education perspective is more likely to view preschools as independent of the family. This perspective highlights the scientific basis of the early socialization enterpri…

The Great Child-Care Experiment
Child-care settings provide a national laboratory for testing questions related to parental choice in K-12 schooling. Operating in open-market conditions with little oversight by the government, the child-care field embodies many of the organizational characteristics advocated under certain school choice models. In fact, parents’ general satisfaction with child care suggests that they are unlikely to act as major catalysts of K-12 reform. Their d…

Pre‐school Quality in Mexico
Government policy regarding early childhood education in Latin America reflects increasing concern with child survival in a broad sense, including cognitive development, nutrition, and physical health (Halpern, 1980; Myers, 1983; Smilansky, 1979). Like architects of antipoverty programmes in the United States in the 1960s, early childhood educators and Federal officials in Latin America are attempting to eliminate educational deficits stemming fr…

Japan-US comparative study on early maternal influences upon cognitive development
This is a comparative study on the follow-up samples of Japan-US cross-cultural project concerning maternal influences upon the cognitive development of children. In order to compare the longitudinal generazability of our findings from preschool data, several cognitive measures assesed at 11:0 (Japan) or 12:0 (U.S.) were examined in relation to preschool measures and to early maternal variables. The level of performances were moderately stable th…

Child-Rearing Effectiveness of Divorced Mothers
The association of coping strategies and social sup- port to maternal distress and parenting style was investigated. Inter- views were conducted with 58 divorced mothers of preschool chil- dren. Results indicated that use of active behavioral and cognitive coping strategies was associated with feelings of control in child- rearing situations and with authoritative parenting. Reliance on cop- ing strategies that involved distancing, escape/avoidan…
