Describe how culture may affect parent-child relationships and interactions

What will be an ideal response?


ANSWER: Some of the characteristics of various cultures were described in Chapter 6. Each culture has a typical way of interacting with infants. In some cultures infants are played with and encouraged to be active, in others they may be treated in a more passive manner. Although we know a little about cultural variations in mother-child interactions, we do not know how, or if, these variations might account for cultural differences in temperament and attachment. However, as society is rapidly changing adult roles must be looked at and respected.
