* Provides much-needed perspective on parenting in low- and
middle-income countries, where the majority of parenting research
still focuses on WEIRD (Western, educated, industrialized, rich,
democratic) countries. * Compares data about four specific domains
of parenting (Caregiving, Discipline, Environment and Public
Health) in relation to development in children 1-5 years of age in
more than 50 countries, advancing knowledge of both parenting and
child development in diverse LMIC contexts. * The book is timely
and particularly needed as researchers and practitioners
increasingly emphasize the importance of understanding how
parenting and child development are influenced by cultural contexts
This timely volume explores the impact of dramatic social change
that has disrupted established patterns of family life and human
development in the countries of the Gulf Cooperation Council. It
addresses several major deficits in knowledge regarding family
issues in the Gulf countries, bringing a critical perspective to
the emerging challenges facing families in this region. Lansford,
Ben Brik, and Badahdah examine the role of urbanization,
educational progress, emigration, globalization, and changes in the
status of women on social change, as well as tackling issues
related to marriage, fertility and parenthood, and family
well-being. This book explores how family relationships and social
policies can promote physical health, psychological well-being,
social relationships, safety, cognitive development, and economic
security in the Gulf countries, placing a unique emphasis on
contemporary families in this region. Families and Social Change in
the Gulf Region is essential reading for scholars from psychology,
sociology, education, law, and public policy. It will also be of
interest to graduate students in these disciplines.

This vital volume advances understanding of how parenting from
childhood to adolescence changes or remains the same in a variety
of sociodemographic, psychological, and cultural contexts,
providing a truly global understanding of parenting across
cultures. Through the Parenting Across Cultures project, the
editors unveil findings from this hugely important comparative
longitudinal study of parents and children in China, Colombia,
Italy, Jordan, Kenya, the Philippines, Sweden, Thailand, and the
United States. The volume offers insight into trajectories of
parenting, exploring parents' warmth, control, rules setting, and
knowledge of children's activities and whereabouts. Each chapter is
authored by a contributor native to the country examined,
guaranteeing an authentic emic perspective, and together the
chapters provide a broader sample that is more generalizable to a
wider range of the world's population than is typical in most
parenting research. Parenting Across Cultures From Childhood to
Adolescence is essential reading for researchers and students of
parenting, psychology, human development, family studies,
sociology, and cultural anthropology, as well as professionals
working with families.

Human development doesn’t occur in a vacuum. Rather, it is deeply
rooted in, and affected by, culture. This textbook examines how
culture affects several domains of development, including
cognition, emotion, sociolinguistics, peer relationships, family
relationships, and more. The chapters highlight differences
between “WEIRD” cultures (Western, educated, and from
industrialized, rich, and democratic countries) and non-WEIRD
cultures, as well as differences with respect to gender,
race/ethnicity, socioeconomic status, and other identity
markers. Each chapter draws upon a large research base and
highlights specific studies to engage students, illustrate key
points, and convey the role of empirical research in psychology. As
a result, students will learn that the development of behavior,
values, social relationships, ways of seeing the world, language,
and thought processes cannot be understood separate from culture.
This volume takes an international and multidisciplinary approach
to understanding students' academic achievement. It does so by
integrating educational literature with developmental psychology
and family studies perspectives. Each of the nine chapters focuses
on a particular country: China, Colombia, Italy, Jordan, Kenya, the
Philippines, Sweden, Thailand, or the United States. It describes
the country as a cultural context, examines the current school
system and parenting in light of the school system, and provides
empirical evidence from that country regarding links between
parenting and students' academic achievement. The book highlights
similarities and differences in education and parenting across
these nine countries - all varying widely in socioeconomic and
cultural factors that affect schools and families. The volume
contributes to greater understanding of links between parenting and
academic performance in different cultural groups. It sheds light
on how school systems and parenting are embedded in larger cultural
settings that have implications for students' educational
experiences and academic achievement. As two of the most important
contexts in which children and adolescents spend time,
understanding how schools and families jointly contribute to
academic achievement holds promise for advancing the international
agenda of promoting quality education for all.
