摘要
通过观察、访谈和问卷调查等多种定性和定量方法研究父母行为,以确定父母与子女互动的文化特定模式和普遍模式。然而,这些方法很少结合起来系统地调查方法的趋同和分歧,以捕捉育儿动态。本研究采用混合方法,包括视频观察,图片卡访谈和育儿民族理论问卷调查,重点关注喀麦隆郊区Nso社区,51名父母(年龄34岁;43名母亲和8名父亲)的婴儿和幼儿(年龄8.2个月)。根据凯勒的育儿成分模型,视频和访谈被编码为目标育儿行为,包括初级保健、身体接触、身体刺激、面对面的环境、对象刺激和发声。对养育民族理论问卷项目进行了探索性因素分析,并进行了相关分析,以检验三种方法之间的联系。研究结果表明,方法上的趋同最小,分歧很大,这表明每种方法都触及了养育子女的不同方面,而没有统一的表现。然而,方法内分析显示了实质性的相关性,特别是在观察和图片卡访谈方法中。这些发现与育儿成分模型大体一致,但强调了方法多样性的必要性,以捕捉主流发展研究中代表性不足的文化社区所采用的养育实践的丰富变化。(PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2025 APA,版权所有)。
Parenting culture: A multimethod perspective on parenting practices among the Nso, Cameroon.
Parenting behaviors are studied through various qualitative and quantitative methods, including observations, interviews, and questionnaires, to identify both culturally specific and universal patterns of parents' interactions with their offspring. However, these methods have rarely been combined to systematically investigate methodological convergence and divergence in capturing parenting dynamics. The present study employs a mixed method approach by including video observations, picture card interviews, and parenting ethnotheory questionnaires with a focus on a suburban Nso community in Cameroon, with 51 parents (Mage = 34 years; 43 mothers and eight fathers) of infants and toddlers (Mage = 8.2 months). Informed by Keller's Component Model of Parenting, videos and interviews were coded for target parenting behaviors, including primary care, body contact, body stimulation, face-to-face context, object stimulation, and vocalization. An exploratory factor analysis was conducted for the parenting ethnotheory questionnaire items, alongside correlational analysis, to examine links between the three methods. Findings indicated minimal methodological convergence and ample divergence, suggesting that each method taps into distinct aspects of parenting without a unified representation. Within-method analyses, nonetheless, showed substantial correlations, particularly within observation and picture card interview methodologies. These findings are broadly consistent with the Component Model of Parenting but highlight the need for methodological diversity to capture the rich variation of parenting practices employed among cultural communities that are underrepresented in mainstream developmental research.

期刊介绍:
Developmental Psychology ® publishes articles that significantly advance knowledge and theory about development across the life span. The journal focuses on seminal empirical contributions. The journal occasionally publishes exceptionally strong scholarly reviews and theoretical or methodological articles. Studies of any aspect of psychological development are appropriate, as are studies of the biological, social, and cultural factors that affect development. The journal welcomes not only laboratory-based experimental studies but studies employing other rigorous methodologies, such as ethnographies, field research, and secondary analyses of large data sets. We especially seek submissions in new areas of inquiry and submissions that will address contradictory findings or controversies in the field as well as the generalizability of extant findings in new populations. Although most articles in this journal address human development, studies of other species are appropriate if they have important implications for human development. Submissions can consist of single manuscripts, proposed sections, or short reports.
