(2018) : Culture and peer relationships. In: Bukowski, William Michael; Laursen, Brett; Rubin, Kenneth H. (Hg.): Handbook of peer interactions, relationships, and groups.: New York: Guilford Press, S. 552-570
Abstract: Over the past several decades, there has been increased interest in culture and children’s peer relationships. The findings from various research programs have clearly indicated that cultural contexts play a significant role in shaping children’s experiences in peer interactions and relationships. Cultural beliefs and values provide guidance for how peers judge and evaluate specific behaviors that children display in interactions. Social judgments and evaluations, in turn, serve to regulate children’s behaviors and eventually affect their developmental outcomes. In addition to social evaluation and regulation processes, culture determines, in part, the features and functions of dyadic and group relationships. In this chapter, we review and discuss the issues involved in the study of cultural diversity as it relates to peer interactions and relationships. The main theme of the chapter is the understanding of cultural involvement in the organization of peer relationsh ips. We first discuss various theoretical issues concerning cultural values, children’s social functioning, and peer relationships. Then we review the literature on children’s social behaviors in peer interactions in different cultural contexts. In the following sections, we review and discuss how cultural factors may be involved in determining the structural and functional features of friendships, peer groups, and popularity. Our chapter concludes with a discussion of future directions in the study of culture and peer relationships. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2018 APA, all rights reserved) zitiert von 42

(2010): Incorporating the cultural value of respeto into a framework of Latino parenting. In: Cultural Diversity and Ethnic Minority Psychology 16 (1), S. 77-86
Abstract: Latino families face multiple stressors associated with adjusting to United States mainstream culture that, along with poverty and residence in inner-city communities, may further predispose their children to risk for negative developmental outcomes. Evidence-based mental health treatments may require culturally informed modifications to best address the unique needs of the Latino population, yet few empirical studies have assessed these cultural elements. The current study examined cultural values of 48 Dominican and Mexican mothers of preschoolers through focus groups in which they described their core values as related to their parenting role. Results showed that respeto, family and religion were the most important values that mothers sought to transmit to their children. Respeto is manifested in several domains, including obedience to authority, deference, decorum, and public behavior. The authors describe the socialization messages that Latina mothers use to teach their children respeto and present a culturally derived framework of how these messages may relate to child development. The authors discuss how findings may inform the cultural adaptation of evidence-based mental health treatments such as parent training programs.
