Cultural formation of responsibility in caregiver-child interactions

本研究阐明了责任在文化上形成的系统，基于我们的概念，即儿童和看护人都是根据他们在互动中的反应能力逐渐发展责任的。具体而言，我们收集了包括日本、亚洲、非洲和美国在内的不同文化群体的数据，并从以下四个角度对数据进行了分析：(1)利用婴儿规律的偶然行为的相互适应；(2)早期声乐交流的音乐性；(3)幼儿的展示和阅读代理；(4)模仿活动的顺序组织。

This study clarified the system by which responsibility is formed culturally, based on our concept that both child and caretaker develop responsibility gradually, according to their ability to respond during interactions. Specifically, we collected data from various cultural groups, including those in Japan, Asia, Africa, and the United States, and analyzed the data from the following four perspectives :(1) Reciprocal accommodation of contingent behaviors capitalizing on infant regularities,(2) Musicality in early vocal communication,(3) Displaying and reading agency by young children,(4) Sequential organization of imitation activity.
