Using Sociology to Extend Psychological Accounts of Cognitive Development
Sociology and psychology share an interest in the acquisition of knowledge. The two traditions, however, are relatively disconnected, and psychologists rarely take advantage of the insights offered by sociologists. The present paper brings out two aspects of development strongly emphasized in sociological accounts but relatively neglected in psychological accounts. One is the acquisition of values about knowledge and skill (e.g., ideas about impo…

Culture and Cognitive Development: Giyoo Hatano’s Insights and the Questions They Open
To bring out Giyoo Hatano’s contributions to the understanding of culture and cognitive development, we note first his special style – thoughtful, inventive, and always focused on central issues and on combining theory with data – and then, for three areas, some of the conceptual advances he proposed. The areas have to do with ties between cognitive and social development (links between skills and identity provide the selected advance), the natur…

Adding Culture to Studies of Development: Toward Changes in Procedure and Theory
This paper asks how an interest in culture and in development can be combined to the benefit of both and at the level of theory and procedures. Three steps are considered, noting for each some existing moves and some recommended extensions. The first step has to do with the sampling of people. Here the main existing move has been toward greater social diversity in sampling. The extensions have to do with giving closer attention to the bases for c…

Work contributions to the family: Developing a conceptual and research framework
This chapter proposes ways to enrich our descriptions of work, bring out the impact of various circumstances, and link work contributions to ideas and feelings about family membership and family relationships
New Directions in Analyses of Parenting Contributions to Children's Acquisition of Values
Traditional theories of how children acquire values or standards of behavior have emphasized the importance of specific parenting techniques or styles and have acknowledged the importance of a responsive parent–child relationship, but they have failed to differentiate among forms of responsiveness, have stressed internalization of values as the desired outcome, and have limited their scope to a small set of parenting strategies or methods. This p…

Cross-Generation Perceptions of Academic Competence: Parental Expectations and Adolescent Self-Disclosure
This study examined the role of parents acting as a social influence on adolescents’self-knowledge about competence at academic activities. The participants were adolescent boys and girls (N = 115) between the ages of 11 to 16 and their mothers and fathers. A proposed model of parental perceptions as mediating influences of past performances on adolescents’self-perceptions was evaluated for variations in content and social context. Adolescent sel…

Work for home, school, or labor force: The nature and sources of changes in understanding
Household work and the development of concern for others
In 2 studies, information was collected about the amount of family-care and self-care household work 9- to to 14-year-old children performed and whether this work was done on a routine basis or in response to requests from others. Only routine family-care work was positively correlated with concern for others demonstrated in the family, and only in older children. There was no relation between type of household work assignment and prosocial behav…

Cultural practices: Toward an integration of culture and development
This chapter explains why the notion of cultural practices has been appealing to developmental researchers and introduces the conceptual framework for the volume
Men, Women, and Household Work
In this book, Jacqui Goodnow and Jennifer Bowes explore different and more equitable ways of sharing a household's work. Can it work when the traditional division of household labour is set aside for a new pattern? How does the work get done, how does a new work pattern come about, and how do men and women feel about the work and their relationship? These questions are part of a rise in interest, in research and everyday life, in the way househol…
Acceptable disagreement across generations
A lack of agreement between generations need not be regarded as dysfunctional or as a source for parental action. An alternative analysis directs attention to when parents care about a lack of agreement, suggests several ways in which a lack of agreement may come about, and prompts a variety of new research questions

Influences of Gender Stereotypes on Adolescents' Perceptions of Their Own Achievement
This study of Australian students’ perceptions of achievement argues for flexibility in gender stereotypes, varying with the frame of reference, and the multidimensionality of self-concepts. Students in the first 4 years of high school (N = 663) completed tests and questionnaires about mathematics and English. The systematic patterns of their responses depended on contrasting subject domains and the specific or general nature of aspects of their …

Parental Social Networks and Child Development
It has often been suggested - but not demonstrated - that parents' links with kin, neighbours, friends and formal organizations are likely to have many effects on children. In the present study independent interviews were held with 305 nine-to eleven-year-old children and their parents. Two aspects of parents' networks displayed strong effects: (a) the parental possession of regularly seen dependable friends ('friends you can call on in a crisis'…
Would you ask someone else to do this task? Parents' and children's ideas about household work requests
This article describes 2 studies, both concerned with the extent to which various household tasks are seen as easy or difficult to move from one family member to another. In Study 1, the informants, mothers and fathers, rated the ease of requests to a partner, teenaged son, or teenaged daughter. In Study 2, the informants, children aged 8, 11, and 14 years, commented on the feasibility of requests to a mother, father, sister, or brother. The stud…
Direction and Sequence in Copying: The Effect of Learning to Write in English and Hebrew
To explore the nature of directional experience and directional behavior in countries with different scripts, children and adults in the United States and in Israel were asked to copy a number of geometric shapes. The paths or sequences of strokes displayed some common developmental trends together with some specific differences stemming from the patterns taught for forming letters. Generalization from letter patterns, however, followed a nonline…

Influences on Australian Parents' Values: Ethnicity Versus Socioeconomic Status
Parental values concerning -the importance of particular qualities and skills in their children vary with both social class (or socioeconomic status) and ethnic background. The aim of this study was to investigate the extent to which differences in values between parents of Anglo-Australian and Italian background in Australia are attributable to differences between the groups in socioeconomic status. The extent of the significant differences betw…
Understanding responsibility: Adolescents' views of delegation and follow‐through within the family
Most studies of responsibility emphasize judgments about blame, with cognitive sophistication as the major basis for variations in judgments. The present study explores an alternative. The judgments are about actions that should be taken, with interpersonal relationships as the major basis. In the situations considered, one sibling asks another to take on a job normally done by the asker. The judgments have to do with the responsibility to follow…

Problem-Solving Strategies: Use by Australian Children with Australian and Greek Parentage
Two groups of children in sixth grade were given three tasks: memory for a set of 24 pictures, Olson's Buttonboard task, and 20 Questions. The two groups were both Australian, one group with Australian parents, the other with parents who were Greek immigrants. All children were drawn from the same classrooms. Nonetheless, some differences appeared on the Buttonboard task, differences that disappeared under explicit instructions to minimize the nu…
Orientation Errors in Copying by Children in Hong Kong
Hong Kong children in two age groups (3-4 years and 6-7 years) were asked to copy a number of geometric shapes. Orientation errors were found to correspond with two types of error observed in U.S. samples: inversions of shapes regarded by children as having "right-side-up" and "wrong-side up" positions, when presented for copying in a "wrong-side up" orientation; and left-right reversal of a shape inconsistent with the usual sequence of strokes i…
