“…The findings supported the second hypothesis that language spoken at home and children's country of birth would be longitudinal predictors of lower levels of adolescent alcohol and drug use, in line with a number of other studies (see Browne & Renzaho, ; Calafat et al, ; Pinquart & Kauser, ). The multivariate analysis found that adolescents who spoke a non‐English LSH at home engaged in lower rates of alcohol and cannabis use, while non‐Australian place of birth was protective for cannabis use.…”

Objective Australia is a multicultural country experiencing rapid immigration. New migrant families offer diversity in important cultural practices such as parenting that can potentially contribute insights for Australian efforts to address public health challenges. Adolescent substance use differs between cultures, and the objective of this study was to investigate potential contributing factors to these differences. It was hypothesized that differing family management practices between cultural groups would predict adolescent substance use. Method This study utilized a large longitudinal study of adolescents in secondary schools in Melbourne, Australia (N = 2,080; aged 12.3 years, SD = 0.5 at study commencement; 55.5% female). Latent Class Analysis and multinomial regression were used to examine parenting factors and behaviors, and their association with the development of substance use among adolescents from different cultural backgrounds. Results Cross‐sectional analyses of adolescent reports revealed no significant differences in parenting style but higher levels of mother attachment, family rewards, and family opportunities among Australian‐born adolescents in comparison to non‐Australian‐born. We observed similar results for comparisons of English speaking only and non‐English Language Spoken at Home (LSH). Family management, non‐English LSH, alcohol use and antisocial behavior in Year 7 longitudinally predicted alcohol and cannabis use in Year 9, after multivariate control for other risk factors. Conclusion Indicators Cultural and linguistic diversity predicted longitudinal protective effects against adolescent substance use after multivariate adjustment for a range of family management factors. Given broad similarities in parenting style, future research should investigate the varied protective effect of cultural diversity factors across different substances.

“…The lack of association between authoritarian child‐rearing values and child adjustment in our study contradicts evidence that high parental authority relates to negative child outcomes, such as depression, especially in individualistic and equal western cultural settings (Kakihara, Tilton‐Weaver, Kerr, & Stattin, ). However, a meta‐analysis by Pinquart and Kauser () found that associations of authoritarian parenting with child internalizing symptoms are weaker in highly individualistic countries. The result that parents' cultural values were not associated with children's emotional or conduct problems contradicts the assumption that the matching of familial values with the cultural values of the majority is beneficial.…”

The study examines how dual‐ethnic and single‐ethnic families differ in terms of children's psychological adjustment and its correlates. Among 48 Finnish–Russian and Finnish families, mothers and fathers reported on children's emotional and conduct problems at ages 4 years and 7 years and children's emotion regulation, emotionality, and their own socialization values at 7 years. Mother–infant and father–infant coregulation was assessed at 7 months. The results show that children had more emotional problems among Finnish–Russian families than among Finnish families at 4 years but not at 7 years. Russian mothers reported more hierarchical and authoritarian values than did Finnish mothers, but the values did not moderate between ethnic context and children's adjustment. Equally many Finnish and Finnish–Russian families had balanced early coregulation, which was linked with fewer attention‐related problems at age 4. In both ethnic contexts, children's emotion regulation was concurrently associated with better psychological adjustment, and high emotionality was associated with more problems. Parental values were not associated with children's adjustment. Highlights This study from infancy to school age analyses psychological adjustment and its correlates among children growing up in single‐ and dual‐ethnic families. Parent‐infant unbalanced co‐regulation related with parent‐reported ADHD problems in preschool children who had more emotional problems in dual‐ethnic than single‐ethnic families. Found differences in parental values and emotion socialization did not expose children in dual‐ethnic families to enduring risk for problems in emotion regulation or adjustment.

“…Responsivity that is attuned, supportive, and considers the child's individual needs fosters self‐regulation, individuality, and agency. By and large, authoritativeness, or a parenting style that balances demandingness and responsivity as appropriate to the child and to the context of child rearing, is believed to be most conducive to children's socialization (Chan, Bowes, & Wyver, ; Pinquart & Kauser, ). Parenting style has been researched to predict a wide range of child outcomes, including eating disorders and behavior (Zubatsky, Berge, & Neumark‐Sztainer, ), adolescent suicidal behavior (Donath, Graessel, Baier, Bleich, & Hillemacher, ) and children's smartphone use (Hwang, Choi, Yum, & Jeong, ).…”

Do the associations of parenting styles with behavior problems and academic achievement vary by culture? Results from a meta-analysis.

Abstract: Parents across the globe could be recommended to behave authoritatively, although authoritarian and permissive parenting is, to some extent, tolerable in a few cultural contexts. (PsycINFO Database Record
