Abstract
Decades of research, with mostly Western participants, indicated significant relations between parenting styles and child temperament. This study extended this work to cross-cultural samples. American, Singaporean, and Korean mothers of preschoolers completed questionnaires assessing parenting dimensions (maturity demand and parental control) and child’s temperament. Results revealed universal and culture-specific correlations.
