AI Article Synopsis
- The study explored the relationship between parents' individualism, collectivism, and conformity values and their parenting behaviors as well as children's adjustment during middle childhood.
- Mothers' collectivism was linked to higher expectations for children's family responsibilities, while fathers' collectivism was associated with greater warmth and similar expectations.
- Additionally, fathers' conformity values were connected to fewer internalizing problems in children, highlighting that parental cultural values influence parenting styles and child well-being in Sweden.
Article Abstract
To examine whether mothers' and fathers' individualism, collectivism and conformity values are significantly related to parenting behaviours and child adjustment during middle childhood, mothers (n = 95), fathers (n = 72) and children (n = 98) in Sweden were interviewed when children were, on average, 10 years old. Mothers' collectivism was significantly correlated with mothers' and fathers' higher expectations for children's family obligations. Fathers' collectivism was significantly correlated with mothers' and fathers' higher warmth and with fathers' higher expectations for children's family obligations. Fathers' conformity values were significantly correlated with fewer child internalising problems. Fathers' higher collectivism was associated with more paternal warmth even after taking into account the other cultural values, child gender and fathers' education. Our findings indicate that individual-level cultural values are correlated with some aspects of parenting and child adjustment in Sweden.
