Recent interest in better understanding parenting in a variety of world contexts has resulted in numerous studies designed to illuminate cultural universals and differences in parenting cognitions, styles, and practices. Several recent studies have yielded results indicating that parenting constructs can be similarly measured in Eastern and Western cultures. This project is designed to examine whether findings can be obtained in Japan. Against the backdrop of recent arguments promoting the idea that paretn-child interactions are not related to peer group adjustment outside the home, this study is important.
