Emotion Socialization in the Indian Cultural Context
The social cultural norms that guide parental practices regarding emotion socialization are determined by cultural meanings ascribed to emotion, emotion expression, regulation, and larger socialization goals. The majority of the empirical research on emotion socialization has been carried out in the US and in Western European countries. The current article aims at understanding emotion socialization in the Indian context interweaving broader view…
Institutional Resources with Notable Foci on Psychology and Culture
The following Centers, Institutes, Programs and Units (hereafter called “entities”), all components of colleges and universities in many countries, are important resources for teaching, research, consultation and services that have some focus on psychology and culture. The aim of this list is to provide brief information about each entity and to identify the main contact person(s) at each
Relations between parenting and adolescent's attachment in families differing in solidarity patterns
To explain attachment development in adolescence in different contexts we applied the family solidarity model (e.g., Bengtson, 2001 generally used to analyze intergenerational adult children‐elderly parents relations. The model differentiates four family solidarity patterns which were assumed in our study to occur in adolescent–parent relations, though with a different distribution. We tested a susceptibility hypothesis assuming that effects of p…
Emotion Norms in Media: Acculturation in Hispanic Children's Storybooks Compared to Heritage and Mainstream Cultures
Cultural artifacts such as children's storybooks may serve to facilitate learning of emotion display norms. We compared emotion displays in European American and Mexican books to infer cultural differences between the mainstream and a heritage culture to ultimately explore acculturation orientation in Hispanic storybooks. Totally, 1,059 images were coded from 10 popular storybooks from each cultural group. We focused on emotion type (positive, ne…
Cultural socialization of toddlers in emotionally charged situations
This study examined mothers’ responses to foster emotional competence from a cultural perspective. Fifty‐one European American, 52 Turkish, and 40 Romanian mothers of 2‐year‐old children provided open‐ended responses to vignettes of anger‐, sadness‐, fear‐, and happiness‐eliciting situations. Mothers’ responses were compared between the family models of independence (United States) and psychological interdependence (Turkey, Romania) to understand…
Emotion Socialization in Cross‐Cultural Perspective
Emotion socialization aims to promote children’s emotion competence. Children’s competence is embedded in cultural contexts that influence caregivers’ expectations of appropriateness of children’s expression and experience of emotions. Two aspects of emotion competence – individualistic and relational emotion competence – are outlined. They offer a theoretical framework to interpret cultural commonalities and differences in emotion socialization …
Variations of emotional display rules within and across cultures: A comparison between Canada, USA, and Japan.
This study investigates emotional display rules for seven basic emotions. The main goal was to compare emotional display rules of Canadians, US Americans, and Japanese across as well as within cultures regarding the specific emotion, the type of interaction partner, and gender. A total of 835 university students participated in the study. The results indicate that Japanese display rules permit the expression of powerful (anger, contempt, and disg…
Reciprocity and Relationship Schemes in Early Peer Interactions
According to a relation-theoretical approach, the construction of reciprocal relationships is an important aspect of social competence. The relevance of intraindividual adaptation of interaction behavior towards different partners for the development

Attachment transfer among Swedish and German adolescents: A prospective longitudinal study
This prospective longitudinal study investigated whether and in what way different functions of attachment relationships are transferred from parents to reciprocal relationship partners in adolescence. Furthermore, the impact of nationality, romantic relationship status, and individual differences in perceived attachment history and current attachment orientation on the timing and extent of transfer was examined. Adolescents from Sweden and Germa…
Culture and Human Development: The Importance of Cross-Cultural Research for the Social Sciences
Culture can be understood as a phenomenon of human creation that keeps strong relations with the imaginary, with ideals and with the different forms of expression of feelings and emotions, among which art and literature stand out.This article approaches in particular the latter aspect.Here, it is claimed that the access to cultural assets is one of the main tools for human transformation and approximation among people, permitting the acknowledgem…
The Measurement of Implicit Motives in Three Cultures: Power and Affiliation in Cameroon, Costa Rica, and Germany
This article examines methodological issues related to the measurement of implicit motives in culturally divergent samples. Implicit motives are seen as basic needs shared by all human beings. However, crosscultural comparisons are very restricted because many cross-cultural studies on implicit motives with non-Western cultures developed and discussed culture-inherent stimuli. The aim of the study here was to search for a culture-independent set …
Emotion Regulation in Early Childhood: A Cross-Cultural Comparison between German and Japanese Toddlers
The purpose of this study is to analyze toddlers' regulation of negative emotions in two cultures. A general sequential model of emotion regulation is specified that takes emotional reaction, goal-directed behavior strategies, and the interactive process between child and mother into account. Two-year-old Japanese ( n = 20) and German ( n = 20) girls and their mothers were observed in a quasi-natural interaction in which the girls experienced a p…
