  • Forgiving Without Letting Go

    Open AccessYuki Shimizu, Anneliese Skrobanek et al.ARTICLEInternational Journal of…2026

    Forgiveness involves both outward reconciliation and internal emotional resolution, yet cultures may differ in how tightly these components are coupled. We conducted two preregistered experiments examining how relational closeness and transgressor remorse shape 6- to 8-year-olds’ evaluations of a victim’s decisional and emotional forgiveness in Germany and Japan. In Experiment 1, relational closeness (friend vs. classmate vs. stranger) was manipu…

  • Others’ requests may dampen the desire to do good

    Open AccessAnneliese Skrobanek, Patricia Kanngiesser et al.ARTICLEDevelopmental Psychology2026

    There exists cultural variation in how people react to prosocial obligations, but we still know little about when these differences emerge in development and how they can be explained. We investigated this in a study with 6- to 11-year-old children ( N = 686) in five cultural contexts. Children listened to scenarios about spontaneous and requested (within-subjects) helping and sharing. They rated requested scenarios as less desirable and less sat…

  • Cross‐Cultural Similarities and Differences in the Development of Infants' Positive Reactivity

    Open AccessHelen Wefers, Nils Schuhmacher et al.ARTICLEInfancy2025

    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…

  • Social expectations influence perceived prosocial motivation in 6- to 11-year-old German children

    Open AccessAnneliese Skrobanek, Carolin Grande et al.ARTICLECognitive Development2025

    In three studies, we examined whether maternal requests affect 6- to 11-year-old German children’s perception of a prosocial agent’s duty, desire and satisfaction to act prosocially. Study 1 ( N = 45) was conducted in a face-to-face setting with an experimenter and included four vignettes with protagonists that helped in the household in either a spontaneous or a requested condition. In the requested scenarios, children perceived the protagonist …

  • Culture-specific socialization in the first year predicts infants’ prosocial development at the end of the second year

    Moritz Köster, Isabelle Périard et al.ARTICLEDevelopmental Psychology2025

    In a series of two studies, we investigated the role of culture-specific parenting practices in the early development of prosocial behavior. In a first, cross-cultural study, we examined maternal scaffolding during task assignment in a German sample ( n = 68) and a Japanese sample ( n = 87) when infants were 10 and 16 months old. We identified that culture-specific scaffolding-deliberate scaffolding in Germany and sensitive scaffolding in Japan-e…

  • The socialization of visual attention

    Solveig Jurkat, Amelie Charlotte Gutknecht-Stöhr et al.ARTICLEDevelopmental Psychology2025

    Verbal attention guidance is assumed to be an important cultural tool contributing to the development of culture-specific visual attention styles in childhood. We used a training approach to test whether verbal attention guidance in a 10 day app-based training that accentuates either analytic or holistic processing has the power to produce enduring effects on 6- to 7-year-old urban German children's ( N = 42, 22 female, 20 male) attention in a pi…

  • One Size Fits All?—The Form and Function of Preschoolers’ Strategy Flexibility in Emotion Regulation

    Open AccessLuisa Marie Lüken, Judith Silkenbeumer et al.ARTICLESocial Development2025Referências: 1

    Effective emotion regulation is critical for establishing and maintaining positive relationships, and it has previously been linked to several indicators of social competence. Theories agree that one core characteristic of adaptive emotion regulation is the ability to flexibly adapt emotion regulation strategies to situational demands (i.e., strategy flexibility). However, little is known about the development of this ability and its association …

  • It's Mealtime! Maternal Structuring of Toddlers' Prosocial Contributions in Kichwa Indigenous and Urban German Families

    Open AccessMarta Giner Torréns, Andrew D Coppens et al.ARTICLEJournal of Cross-Cultural…2025Citada por: 1Referências: 40

    At 2 years of age, children around the world are eager to help adults. Later, however, children's helping motivations take different developmental paths: Whereas Western children often resist contributing to housework, in many Indigenous Latin American societies older children contribute on their own initiative. To better understand the early origins of these cross-cultural differences, we video-taped and analyzed 2.5-year-olds' ( N = 69) helping…

  • Maternal Socialization Goals and Children’s Requested Behaviors

    Open AccessBianca Reis Fonseca, Priscila Tavares Priante et al.ARTICLEPaidéia (Ribeirão Preto2024

    This study examined possible associations between variables related to maternal socialization goals and the manifestation of requested behaviors among children living in a Brazilian rural community, in order to answer the following question: Is there any correlation between maternal goals and the manifestation of requested behaviors in their children? A total of 39 mother-child dyads participated in the study and the children were aged between 18…

  • Mealtime conversations between parents and their 2-year-old children in five cultural contexts

    Maria Bohn, Wilson Filipe da Silva Vieira et al.ARTICLEDevelopmental Psychology2024Citada por: 2

    Children all over the world learn language, yet the contexts in which they do so vary substantially. This variation needs to be systematically quantified to build robust and generalizable theories of language acquisition. We compared communicative interactions between parents and their 2-year-old children ( N = 99 families) during mealtime across five cultural settings (Brazil, Ecuador, Argentina, Germany, and Japan) and coded the amount of talk …

  • A roadmap to doing culturally grounded developmental science

    Open AccessTanya Macgillivray, Lew-Levy et al.ARTICLEReview of Philosophy and Psychology2023

    This paper provides a roadmap for engaging in cross-cultural, developmental research in practical, ethical, and community-engaged ways. To cultivate the flexibility necessary for conducting cross-cultural research, we structure our roadmap as a series of questions that each research program might consider prior to embarking on cross-cultural examinations in developmental science. Within each topic, we focus on the challenges and opportunities inh…

  • Evaluation of Eltern-Aktiv - A Culture-Sensitive Parenting Program for Refugee Families in Germany

    Christina Nieder, Gisa Müller-Butzkamm et al.ARTICLEJournal of Immigrant & Refugee…2023Referências: 31

    This study reports data on the effectiveness of Eltern-Aktiv, a culture-sensitive parenting program developed for refugee parents. We used a mixed-method approach, namely standardized questionnaire-based interview with refugee parents (Npre = 39, Npost = 21) and qualitative interviews with five trainers. Results indicated the effectiveness of the program for positive parenting behaviors (i.e., positive conflict behavior, support, and structuring)…

  • Cultural Similarities and Differences in Explaining Others’ Behavior in 4- to 9-Year-Old Children From Three Cultural Contexts

    Open AccessSolveig Jurkat, Nancy Beatriz Iza Simba et al.ARTICLEJournal of Cross-Cultural…2022

    Previous studies suggest that people from the Western hemisphere tend to explain others’ behavior based on a person’s traits and dispositions, while participants from non-Western cultural settings more likely refer to situational factors. From a developmental perspective, it has been suggested that culture-specific modes of explaining behavior gradually emerge during late childhood and adolescence. The present study explored whether traces of a c…

  • Maternal Ethnotheories About Infants’ Ideal States in Two Cultures

    Open AccessHelen Wefers, Clara Leonie Schwarz et al.ARTICLEJournal of Cross-Cultural…2022

    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…

  • The effect of verbal priming of visual attention styles in 4- to 9-year-old children

Auf Basis einer repräsentativen Online-Fragebogenstudie mit Aussagen von 727 Fachkräften aus 26 Jobcentern in Nordrhein-Westfalen wurde mittels qualitativer Analysen und interdisziplinärer Diskussion der Ergebnisse ein tieferes Verständnis für die aktuellen Herausforderungen in der Beratung im aktiven Bereich der Jobcenter entwickelt. Dabei waren z…

  • Psychological Antecedents of Refugee Integration (Pari)

    Open AccessGerald Echterhoff, Jens H Hellmann et al.ARTICLEPerspectives on Psychological…2020

    The successful management of refugee immigration, including refugee integration in host societies, requires a sound understanding of underlying psychological processes. We propose the psychological antecedents of refugee integration (PARI) model, highlighting perceived forcedness (i.e., coercion and loss of control from “push” factors) and ensuing perils (risks and potential suffering during migration) as distinctive factors of refugee (vs. volun…

  • Parental structuring during shared chores and the development of helping across the second year

    Open AccessJoscha Kärtner, Marta Giner Torréns et al.ARTICLESocial Development2020Citada por: 3Referências: 3

    This lab‐based longitudinal study examines whether parental structuring (i.e., encouragement, modeling, and praise) has effects on helping behavior across developmental time, across recipients or both. Based on behavioral data assessed at 12, 15, 18, 21, and 24 months ( N = 38 dyads), the main findings are that, first, when analyzing the effects of parental structuring on toddlers' helping across developmental time (helping the parent 3 months la…

  • Preschoolers prefer in‐group to out‐group members, but equally condemn their immoral acts

    Open AccessNils Schuhmacher, Joscha KärtnerARTICLESocial Development2019Referências: 6

    Previous research has shown that young children robustly display in‐group favoritism; that is, they favor in‐group over out‐group members. Moreover, preschoolers also consider information on morality in their evaluations of others. In the present study, we integrated both aspects: In particular, fifty‐six 4‐ to 6‐year‐old preschoolers were assigned to minimal groups and observed either prosocial or antisocial acts conducted by either an in‐group …

  • Sexual Violence Against Women in India

    Open AccessChristina Nieder, Christoph Muck et al.ARTICLEViolence Against Women2019Citada por: 7Referências: 6

    This study assesses the current situation concerning sexual violence against women in India and women's individual coping strategies. We conducted 15 semistructured interviews with 17- to 22-year-old Indian college students. First, results about the current situation showed threatening circumstances for women and revealed how deeply sexual violence affects women's lives. Second, to cope with sexual violence women mentioned three types of strategi…

  • Interactional Synchrony and Child Gender Differences in Dyadic and Triadic Family Interactions

    Open AccessJúlia Scarano De Mendonça, Vera Sílvia Raad Bussab et al.ARTICLEJournal of Family Issues2019Citada por: 2Referências: 39

    Based on family systems theory, our objectives were to examine the association between dyadic parent-child interactional synchrony (mother-child and father-child) and triadic mother-father-child interactional synchrony and the effect of the child's gender on the family interactional synchrony at the child's third year. Forty-three low-income Brazilian families (mother, father, and child) were observed in free play interaction. Multidimension asse…
