儿童行为问题及其相应的临床转诊模式可能受文化因素的显著影响。一种文化中流行的价值观和养育孩子的做法可能会阻碍某些儿童问题的发展,同时促进其他问题的发展。我们探讨了这种可能性,重点关注两个不同社会的临床转诊问题:(a)牙买加,那里的非裔英国文化不鼓励儿童攻击和其他控制不足的行为,并可能助长抑制和其他过度控制的行为;(b)美国,控制不足的儿童行为似乎更被普遍接受。我们对牙买加和美国青少年父母列出的临床转诊问题进行编码(N= 720)。跨文化差异是惊人的:牙买加年轻人比美国年轻人更容易注意到过度控制的问题,而不受控制的问题则相反。这些和其他的研究结果表明,文化和性别等因素可能与不同国家的年轻人在诊所治疗问题上的巨大差异有关。(PsycINFO数据库记录(c) 2016 APA,版权所有)
Child behavior problems and corresponding clinic referral patterns may be significantly influenced by cultural factors. Prevailing values and childrearing practices within a culture may discourage development of some child problems while fostering others. We explored this possibility, focusing on clinic referral problems of two different societies:(a) Jamaica, where the Afro-British culture discourages child aggression and other undercontrolled behavior and possibly fosters inhibition and other overcontrolled behavior, and (b) the United States, where undercontrolled child behavior is seemingly more generally accepted. We coded clinic-referred problems listed by parents of Jamaican and American youngsters (N= 720). Cross-cultural differences were striking: Overcontrolled problems were noted more often for Jamaican than American youngsters, whereas the converse was true for uncontrolled problems. These and other findings suggest that factors such as culture and sex may be linked to substantial differences in the problems for which youngsters of different countries are treated in clinics.(PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2016 APA, all rights reserved)
