对印度、日本和英国的母亲对儿童发育的期望进行了比较。来自印度和日本的 50 名母亲以及来自英国的 70 名母亲被要求表明她们期望孩子在 45 项任务中达到能力的年龄，这些任务反映了教育/自我护理、服从性、同伴互动、沟通、情绪控制和环境独立能力。平均而言，日本的能力预期年龄比英国稍早，而印度的预期年龄则要晚一些。但是，文化之间的差异是特定领域的。日本人的期望仅在教育/自理和环境独立领域超过了英国人的期望。印度的期望在所有领域都显着晚于日本和英国的期望，但环境独立性除外，他们晚于日本但早于英国的期望。
Maternal expectations of child development were compared in India, Japan, and England. Fifty mothers from both India and Japan, and 70 mothers from England were asked to indicate the age at which they expected a child to achieve competence in 45 tasks, reflecting education/self-care, compliance, peer interaction, communication, emotional control, and environmental independence competencies. On average, competence was expected at a slightly earlier age in Japan than in England, and altogether later in India However, differences between cultures were domain specific. Japanese expectations only exceeded English expectations in the education/self-care and environmental independence domains. Indian expectations were significantly later than Japanese and English expectations in all domains except environmental independence, where they were later than Japanese but earlier than English expectations.
