Abstract

In “Parenting Culture(s): Ideal-Parent Beliefs Across 37 Countries,” Lin et al. examine reports of parents from 37 countries regarding the qualities they consider in an ideal parent and then use a method called Leximancer Semantic Network Analysis to identify broad culture zones across the 37 countries based on shared notions of an ideal parent. I appreciate this substantial effort to explore parenting beyond Euro-American samples, upon which a bulk of parenting science literature is based. I also concur with a data-driven exploratory approach and examination of ideal-parent beliefs across parents with differing educational levels. However, I argue that to advance parenting science, we need more than inclusion of samples from the Majority World (i.e., regions where the majority of the world’s population resides). Future parenting research should be grounded in (a) decolonial epistemology that involves generating localized knowledge by exploring parenting in various communities in the Majority World that are formed through intersecting influences of neighborhood composition, religion, region, social class, urban, rural, and suburban residence, along with other locally relevant social dimensions, (b) decolonial research methodology that values different ways of generating knowledge and includes local communities as partners in the knowledge generation process, and (c) understanding and interpreting parenting in Majority World communities from a cultural resource rather than a deficit framework.

以多数世界育儿为中心走向非殖民化的育儿科学——《育儿文化:37个国家的理想父母信仰》述评
在“养育文化:37个国家的理想父母信念”中,Lin等人研究了来自37个国家的父母关于他们认为理想父母的品质的报告,然后使用一种称为Leximancer语义网络分析的方法,根据对理想父母的共同观念,在37个国家中确定了广泛的文化区。我很欣赏这种在欧美样本之外探索育儿方式的巨大努力,这是大部分育儿科学文献的基础。我也赞同一种数据驱动的探索性方法,以及对不同教育水平的父母的理想父母信念的检验。然而,我认为,为了推进育儿科学,我们需要的不仅仅是来自多数世界(即世界上大多数人口居住的地区)的样本。未来的育儿研究应以(a)非殖民化认识论为基础,即通过探索多数世界中不同社区的育儿方式来产生本地化知识,这些社区是通过社区构成、宗教、地区、社会阶层、城市、农村和郊区居住以及其他与当地相关的社会层面的交叉影响而形成的;(b)重视产生知识的不同方式并将当地社区作为产生知识过程中的伙伴的非殖民化研究方法,以及(c)从文化资源而不是赤字框架来理解和解释多数世界社区的养育方式。

期刊介绍: Journal of Cross-Cultural Psychology publishes papers that focus on the interrelationships between culture and psychological processes. Submitted manuscripts may report results from either cross-cultural comparative research or results from other types of research concerning the ways in which culture (and related concepts such as ethnicity) affect the thinking and behavior of individuals as well as how individual thought and behavior define and reflect aspects of culture. Review papers and innovative reformulations of cross-cultural theory will also be considered. Studies reporting data from within a single nation should focus on cross-cultural perspective. Empirical studies must be described in sufficient detail to be potentially replicable.
