Children’s sleep in seven Western communities
Universal developmental processes offer a window on the role of culture. The present study analyzes differences in the amount and timing of sleep behavior for 419 children from 6 months to 7-8 years of age, as well as aspects of the developmental niches that promote or discourage specific sleep patterns. Samples were recruited in seven different cultural groups of European origin, in Australia, Italy, the Netherlands, Poland, Spain, Sweden, and t…
Parents’ Concepts of the Successful School Child in Seven Western Cultures
Although children's school success is a parental goal in most cultures, there is wide cultural variation in the qualities that parents most wish their children to develop for that purpose. A questionnaire contained forty-one child qualities was administered to 757 parents in seven cultural communities in Australia, Italy, the Netherlands, Poland, Spain, Sweden, and the United States. Exploratory factor analysis was conducted separately within eac…
Culture, Temperament, and the “Difficult Child”

Teachers' ethnotheories of the ‘ideal student’ in five western cultures
This paper explores teachers' ethnotheories of the ‘ideal student’ in five western societies: Italy, The Netherlands, Poland, Spain, and the US. Quantitative and qualitative methods are used to derive culture‐specific profiles of the ‘ideal student’ as described by kindergarten and primary school teachers in semi‐structured interviews (sample n's = 12 to 21). Discriminant function analysis shows that teachers' descriptor profiles can be correctly…
Mixed Methods in International Collaborative Research
The power of a mixed-methods approach combining anthropological and psychological theories and methods is demonstrated through the experiences of the International Study of Parents, Children, and Schools, a collaborative project involving teams of researchers from seven Western countries. The developmental niche framework of Super and Harkness proved useful for integrating multiple methods to understand the context of children’s early development…
