虽然表扬被认为是塑造儿童行为的重要因素,并且是当今英国家长培训建议的核心,但来自非西方文化的文献表明,一些社区并不认为表扬是积极的。目前,人们对英国少数族裔父母如何看待表扬还缺乏系统的了解。这项定性研究利用主题分析来探讨居住在伦敦市中心的南亚背景移民父母的育儿信念,重点关注他们对学龄前儿童的表扬方式。新出现的主题表明,参与者将幼儿的行为视为本能,并将指导视为所需的主要养育策略。身体温暖和有形奖励的示范被广泛使用。虽然口头表扬被用来鼓励服从,但这些父母建议谨慎行事,称表扬孩子可能会导致心理特征的发展,而这些心理特征在文化上被认为是功能失调的。人们相对较少强调单个孩子的能力,而是更多地关注其对等级制度中其他人的影响。这些主题对于多元文化社区中的临床心理学实践具有一些根本性的影响。
While praise is considered an important element in moulding children's behaviour and is central to parent-training advice in the UK today, the literature from nonwestern cultures suggests that some communities do not view praise as positive. There is currently a dearth of systematic knowledge about how minority ethnic parents in Britain view praise. This qualitative study used thematic analysis to explore the childrearing beliefs of immigrant parents from South Asian backgrounds living in inner-city London, with a focus on their constructions of praising their preschool children. The emerging themes suggest that participants see young children's behaviour as instinctual and view instruction as the main parenting strategy required. Demonstrations of physical warmth and tangible rewards were widely used. While verbal praise was used to encourage compliance, these parents advised caution, saying that praising children risked the development of psychological attributes that were culturally judged as dysfunctional. There was relatively little emphasis on the individual child's ability but more on its effect on others in the hierarchy. These themes have some fundamental implications for the practice of clinical psychology in multicultural communities.
