International research on parenting and child
development can advance our understanding of similarities
and differences in how parenting is related to children’s
development across countries. Challenges to conducting
international research include operationalizing culture,
disentangling effects within and between countries, and
balancing emic and etic perspectives. Benefits of international research include testing whether findings regarding
parenting and child development replicate across diverse
samples, incorporating cultural and contextual diversity to
foster more inclusive and representative research samples
and investigators than has typically occurred, and understanding how children develop in proximal parenting and
family and distal international contexts.
