本研究检查并比较了纽约、巴黎和东京母婴二人在家庭自然互动中母亲对婴儿活动反应的显着特征。一般文化和特定文化的响应模式都出现了。例如，在所有 3 个地点中，婴儿的行为相似，母亲在反应类型的层次结构方面也表现相似，母亲和婴儿在互动中表现出特异性和相互适当性：母亲以对环境的鼓励来回应婴儿对环境的探索，以模仿来回应婴儿发出的不痛苦的声音，以养育来回应婴儿发出的痛苦的声音。不同文化中母亲反应的差异发生在婴儿的注视而不是婴儿的发声，以及母亲强调二元与二元之外的互动位点。讨论了母亲反应的普遍性、文化差异的潜在来源以及不同文化背景下儿童发展反应的相似性和差异的影响。
This study examines and compares prominent characteristics of maternal responsiveness to infant activity during home-based naturalistic interactions of mother-infant dyads in New York City, Paris, and Tokyo. Both culture-general and culture-specific patterns of responsiveness emerged. For example, in all 3 locales infants behaved similarly, mothers also behaved similarly with respect to a hierarchy of response types, and mothers and infants manifest both specificity and mutual appropriateness in their interactions: Mothers responded to infants' exploration of the environment with encouragement to the environment, to infants' vocalizing nondistress with imitation, and to infants' vocalizing distress with nurturance. Differences in maternal responsiveness among cultures occurred to infant looking rather than to infant vocalizing and in mothers' emphasizing dyadic versus extradyadic loci of interaction. Universals of maternal responsiveness, potential sources of cultural variation, and implications of similarities and differences in responsiveness for child development in different cultural contexts are discussed.
