摘要本文对澳大利亚和印度的父母控制、成熟度要求和父母教养方式进行了研究。在布里斯班。澳大利亚有100名学龄前儿童的父母(100名母亲和55名父亲)，印度希萨尔有178名学龄前儿童的父母(178名母亲和149名父亲)。在布里斯班，父母的数据是通过问卷收集的。在希萨尔。数据是通过访谈收集的。在Hisar的研究中，调查问卷被翻译成印地语。在父母控制方面，印度父亲通常比澳大利亚父母和印度母亲更坚定。印度母亲通常比印度父亲更严厉，印度父母比澳大利亚父母更严厉。在控制松懈方面，印度父母通常比澳大利亚父母更松懈，印度父亲比印度母亲更松懈。在成熟度要求方面，印度父母比澳大利亚父母更有可能期待自我控制和独立行为。澳大利亚和印度的父母中，有很大比例属于放任型的养育方式。在这两个文化群体中，随着儿童年龄的增加，对成熟行为的坚定和严厉的控制和期望增加。与受教育程度较低的父母相比，受教育程度较高的父母不太可能使用严厉和松懈的控制，而更有可能使用坚定的控制。随着父母教育程度的提高，对成熟行为的要求也越来越高。
Abstract The research reported in this paper is an exploration of parental control, maturity demands and parenting style in Australia and India. In Brisbane. Australia parents of 100 preschool-aged children (100 mothers and 55 fathers) and in Hisar, India parents of 178 preschool-aged children (178 mothers and 149 fathers) participated. In Brisbane, parental data was collected through questionnaires. In Hisar. data was collected through interviews. For the Hisar study, the questionnaires were translated into Hindi. For parental control, Indian fathers were generally more firm than Australian parents and Indian mothers. Indian mothers were generally more harsh than Indian fathers and Indian parents were more harsh than Australian parents. For lax control, Indian parents were generally more lax than Australian parents and Indian fathers were more lax than Indian mothers. For maturity demands, Indian parents were more likely to expect self-control and independent behaviour than Australian parents. A high proportion of Australian and Indian parents fell into the permissive category of parenting style. In both cultural groups, with increase in children’s age, firm and harsh control and expectations for mature behaviour increased. Compared to less educated parents, more educated parents were less likely to use harsh and lax control and were more likely to use firm control. With higher parental education demands for mature behaviour increased.
