Cross‐Cultural Similarities and Differences in the Development of Infants' Positive Reactivity
To investigate the development of positive affect during early infancy across cultures, we conducted a joyful affect–eliciting dyadic face‐to‐face interaction between a female experimenter and 3‐ and 4.5‐month‐old infants from Münster (urban Germany; n = 20 at 3 months, n = 20 at 4.5 months) and indigenous Kichwa families from the Andean context (rural Ecuador; n = 24 at 3 months, n = 27 at 4.5 months), which differ in their ethnotheories about i…
Ethical Challenges of Cross-Cultural Research – The Example of a Psychological Research Project in the Andean Context
Using the example of a psychological research project in the Andean context, this explorative interview study adds to the current debate about ethical challenges of psychological cross-cultural research projects by being one of the first to address those challenges empirically. Using a multilevel approach, we conducted interviews with three groups of experts (study participants, i.e., Kichwa mothers, research assistants and experts on research in…
Maternal Ethnotheories About Infants’ Ideal States in Two Cultures
Accumulating evidence suggests that ethnotheories about ideal states of infant affect and activity vary across cultures in important ways. However, most previous studies have not directly identified such ethnotheories but rather inferred them from observational studies on mother-infant interaction. To fill this research gap, we interviewed mothers from two cultural milieus—mothers from Münster (urban Germany) and mothers who identify themselves a…
