Supporting preschool children with developmental concerns
Parenting From Afar and the Reconfiguration of Family Across Distance
The definition of family as a conjugal group consisting of parents and children living in the same household is in the process of a profound reworking, one that includes the constellation of family life that exists around the world. Increased migration and mobility have challenged traditional notions of what constitutes a family, yet much mainstream research relies on past notions of a cohesive unit under one domicile. Many families today are sep…
Connecting Teacher Professional Development and Student Mathematics Achievement
The present study investigated the effects of Primarily Math, an inservice elementary mathematics specialist program. Primarily Math sought to augment the mathematical knowledge for teaching of kindergarten through third-grade teachers using a longitudinal multiple cohort design. Two sets of analyses were conducted. The first examined impact on teachers' mathematical knowledge for teaching, attitudes toward learning mathematics, and beliefs about…
Chinese parents’ involvement in sexuality education for adolescents
Objectives and Methods: Structural equation modeling was used to examine a model of factors related to the level of involvement of Chinese parents in sexuality education for adolescents. Results: Greater parental education was indirectly related to parental engagement in sexuality education through its relationship with more traditional cultural values, greater perceived knowledge of sexuality, and increased quality of the parent-child relationsh…
Getting ready
The purpose of this study is to investigate the effects of a relational intervention (the Getting Ready intervention) on parenting behaviors supporting the parent–infant relationship for families enrolled in Early Head Start home‐based programming. Two‐hundred thirty‐four parents and their children participated in the randomized study, with 42% of parents reporting education of less than a high‐school diploma. Brief, semistructured parent–child i…

Chinese Parents’ Perspectives on Adolescent Sexuality Education
There is growing interest in China to understand how young people learn about sexuality, but there are few existing studies about the role of parents as sex educators of their children. This study surveyed 694 Chinese parents of adolescents in three cities about their knowledge, attitudes, and practices regarding sexuality education for their children. The majority supported sexuality education, yet few parents had provided it. High-income parent…
Parent Engagement and School Readiness
RESEARCH FINDINGS: Parental engagement with children has been linked to a number of adaptive characteristics in preschool children, and relationships between families and professionals are an important contributor to school readiness. Furthermore, social-emotional competence is a key component of young children's school readiness. This study reports the results of a randomized trial of a parent engagement intervention (Getting Ready) designed to …
The Whitings' Concepts of Culture and How They Have Fared in Contemporary Psychology and Anthropology
This article presents a brief intellectual biography of John and Beatrice Whiting, followed by an examination of five key ideas that they put forward to the fields of psychology and anthropology through their theoretical and empirical writings. These key ideas are (a) the assumption of the psychic unity of humankind, (b) the cultural learning environment, (c) the psychocultural model, (d) the synergistic relationship of the disciplines of psychol…
Professional Development in Early Childhood Programs
In light of the current policy context, early childhood educators are being asked to have a complex understanding of child development and early education issues and provide rich, meaningful educational experiences for all children and families in their care. Accountability for outcomes is high, and resources for professional support are limited. As such, the early education field needs well-conducted empirical studies on which to base profession…

The Early Development of Gender Differences
This article reviews findings from anthropology, psychology, and other disciplines about the role of biological factors in the development of sex differences in human behavior, including biological theories, the developmental course of sex differences, and the interaction of biological and cultural gendering processes at different ages. Current evidence suggests that major biological influences on individual differences in human gender, to the ex…

Evolving Questions and Comparative Perspectives in Cultural/Historical Research
In studying human development in cultural-historical context, we must integrate multiple levels of analysis and strive to identify culture’s imprint inside the contexts of socialization. Issues of methodology are complex. This paper argues that both comparative and historical-interpretive studies are valuable and indeed generative for each other, using as an example an international, collaborative research project focused on East African women an…
Worlds of Experience After School
In the children’s classic, The Phantom Tollbooth , by Norton Juster [1961], a little boy named Milo is stirred out of a chronic state of boredom, lethargy, and nonengagement by a magical trip that begins when he receives a mysterious gift box bearing the label, ‘For Milo, who has plenty of time’. The book begins with Milo alone, with no company but his unhappy thoughts, facing another tedious afternoon. Then he notices the gift box, follows the i…
Introduction
Children's Play in Cross-Cultural Perspective
A qualitative and quantitative reanalysis of the Six Cultures data on children's play, collected in the 1950s, was performed to revisit worlds of childhood during a time when sample communities were more isolated from mass markets and media than they are today. A count was performed of children aged 3 to 10 in each community sample scored as engaging in creative-constructive play, fantasy play, role play, and games with rules. Children from Nyans…

The effects of day care participation on parent-infant interaction at home
This study assessed how parents who placed their children in a model infant and toddler center were, over time, influenced by three salient features of the center: its child-centered focus, its social orientation, and its support for men in nurturing roles
The influence of model infant—toddler group care on parent-child interaction at home
My Brother's Keeper
Children often act as caretakers responsible for other children. Such child caretaking varies widely in its frequency, as well as in the degree of institutionalization, relationship to parental caretaking, degree of indulgence, and incidence at differing ages. Residence and household patterns, size of the family, and the subsistence economy, daily routines, and work load of the family are important in determining availability of child caretakers …

Social roles and moral reasoning
The theory posits six culturally universal stages of moral judgment over the life-span: The lower three usually emerge by adolescence, whereas the upper three develop, if at all, during middle to late adolescence or adulthood (Kohlberg & Kramer, 1969).Like Piaget's stages of cognitive development, Kohlberg's stages of moral development have their own internal coherence, and they are arranged in ascending order of complexity; each stage represents…

"Rationality, Culture, and the Construction of "Ethical Discourse
The problem of ethical relativism has never been resolved or laid to rest. It turns out to be a complicated set of problems, involving many philosophical issues of meaning (Brandt 1954; Ladd 1957). For example, how should we define morality and ethics? How should we define the problem of ethical relativism? How does the problem of ethical relativism relate to the problem of cultural relativism? One question that is part of this package is a scien…

Introduction
Moral Development in Turkish Children, Adolescents, and Young Adults
The development with age of moral judgments was studied in three groups of Turkish children, adolescents, and young adults. Males 10 to 25 years old were studied in a rural village and two cities. Subjects responded to moral dilemmas and their responses were scored for stage of development. Cross-sectional and some longitudinal data showed that the stage sequence of development for all three Turkish groups was the same as has previously been foun…

A Cross-Cultural Analysis of Sex Differences in the Behavior of Children Aged Three Through 11
Our study suggests that (a) there are universal sex differences in the behavior of children 3–11 years of age, but the differences are not consistent nor as great as the studies of American and Western European children would suggest; (b) socialization pressure in the form of task assignment and the associated frequency of interaction with different categories of individuals—i.e., infants, adults, and peers—may well explain many of these differen…
