摘要

父母的文化信仰与子女的社会化和发展息息相关。研究人员通过父母的民族理论(指父母对子女适合其发展的行为的内隐信念)来研究这些关联。以前的研究主要集中在父母对理想行为和品质的民族理论上,与此形成鲜明对比的是,对儿童不良行为的民族理论研究却相当缺乏。在本文中,我们通过研究西班牙和美国父母对儿童适应不良行为原因的看法的文化差异和相似性,弥补了这一知识空白。我们采用半结构化访谈的方式,对美国 50 名家长和西班牙 51 名家长进行了抽样调查,以评估家长对儿童内化和外化行为的因果归因。结果显示,与西班牙家长相比,美国家长对外部化行为更多地归因于儿童的内部状态、社会学习和权力动机。相反,对于同样的行为,西班牙家长比美国家长更多地归因于寻求关注和物质利益。在内化行为的归因上没有跨文化差异。家长对儿童破坏性行为的理论与他们对儿童内化行为的理论截然不同。父母解释风格的差异可能反映并维持了西班牙和美国之间更广泛的文化差异。这项研究为越来越多的关于父母的民族理论与儿童发展相关性的文献提供了证据,并将其扩展到父母对儿童不良行为的归因这一主题。

Parents’ cultural beliefs about maladaptive behavior in young children: A comparison of across two cultures
Parents’ cultural beliefs are associated with their children’s socialization and development. Researchers have examined these associations through the lens of parents’ ethnotheories, which refer to parents’ implicit beliefs about children’s developmentally appropriate behavior. In contrast to prior work focused on parents’ ethnotheories of desirable behaviors and qualities, there has been a considerable lack of research examining ethnotheories about children’s maladaptive behavior. In this article, we address this gap in knowledge by examining cultural differences and similarities in Spanish and American parents’ beliefs about the causes of children’s maladaptive behaviors. A semi-structured interview was used to assess parents’ causal attributions of children’s internalizing and externalizing behaviors in a sample of 50 parents from the United States and 51 parents from Spain. Results revealed that US parents made more attributions to children’s internal states, social learning, and power motives than Spanish parents for externalizing behaviors. Conversely, Spanish parents made more attributions to attention seeking and material gains than US parents for the same behaviors. There were no cross-cultural differences in attributions for internalizing behaviors. Parents had strikingly different theories of children’s disruptive behaviors than they did for children’s internalizing behaviors. Differences in parents’ explanatory styles may reflect and maintain broader cultural differences between Spain and the United States. This study lends evidence to the growing literature on the relevance of parents’ ethnotheories in the context of child development and extends it to the topic of parental attributions regarding maladaptive child behaviors.

期刊介绍: The International Journal of Behavioral Development is the official journal of the International Society for the Study of Behavioural Development, which exists to promote the discovery, dissemination and application of knowledge about developmental processes at all stages of the life span - infancy, childhood, adolescence, adulthood and old age. The Journal is already the leading international outlet devoted to reporting interdisciplinary research on behavioural development, and has now, in response to the rapidly developing fields of behavioural genetics, neuroscience and developmental psychopathology, expanded its scope to these and other related new domains of scholarship. In this way, it provides a truly world-wide platform for researchers which can facilitate a greater integrated lifespan perspective. In addition to original empirical research, the Journal also publishes theoretical and review papers, methodological papers, and other work of scientific interest that represents a significant advance in the understanding of any aspect of behavioural development. The Journal also publishes papers on behaviour development research within or across particular geographical regions. Papers are therefore considered from a wide range of disciplines, covering all aspects of the lifespan. Articles on topics of eminent current interest, such as research on the later life phases, biological processes in behaviour development, cross-national, and cross-cultural issues, and interdisciplinary research in general, are particularly welcome.
