Abstract
Most research on parenting and child development has been based on studies conducted in the minority world. Although there have been efforts to diversify samples and methods, a more inclusive knowledge base is needed to understand parenting from a cultural perspective. Yet, studying parenting in majority world countries presents several methodological challenges. In this article, we aim to contribute to the discussion on diversity in human development by reflecting on our experience conducting parenting research in Latin America, particularly in Chile. First, we examine the mainstream conceptualization of "Latinos" that informs parenting research. Next, we describe the context in which parenting occurs and is studied in Chile. We then highlight methodological challenges of conducting research in this context. Finally, we propose strategies to address diversity as a crucial component of human development. Our discussion seeks to enhance the understanding of parenting research in the majority world from a cultural lens and promote collaborative research in parenting and child development.

大多数有关养育子女和儿童发展的研究都是基于在少数民族世界开展的研究。尽管人们一直在努力使样本和方法多样化,但要从文化角度理解养育子女问题,还需要一个更具包容性的知识基础。然而,研究多数世界国家的养育问题在方法论上存在一些挑战。在本文中,我们旨在通过反思我们在拉丁美洲,尤其是智利开展亲职教育研究的经验,为有关人类发展多样性的讨论做出贡献。首先,我们探讨了影响育儿研究的 "拉美人 "主流概念。其次,我们介绍了在智利开展和研究亲职教育的背景。然后,我们强调了在这种背景下开展研究的方法论挑战。最后,我们提出了解决作为人类发展重要组成部分的多样性问题的策略。我们的讨论旨在从文化视角加深对多数世界育儿研究的理解,并促进育儿和儿童发展方面的合作研究。(PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2024 APA, all rights reserved)。
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.
