“…A study by Torres (2017) found that while Chilean primary school children showed similar levels of behavior regulation compared to British children, psychological factors contributing to the expression of behavior regulation differed. Further, Santelices et al (2021) suggested that lower levels of behavior regulation in Chilean children compared to US-American children might be related to a higher culture-specific acceptance of external regulation in Chilean children. In Germany, a European industrial country, an independent self-construal is prominent, and a strong focus is put on enhancing individual responsibility, independence, and autonomous behavior regulation (Keller and Lamm, 2005).…”

Children’s behavior regulation development takes place in diverse sociocultural settings. In this study, we take a multilayer ecological perspective and examine cross-cultural as well as intra-cultural similarities and differences in relations between different aspects of contextual risks (i.e., family and neighborhood risk), maternal restrictive control, and children’s behavior regulation in Chile and Germany. One hundred sixty-seven mothers of primary school children in Chile and 109 mothers in Germany (total sample M (child age) = 10.01 years) completed questionnaires on family risk, parenting practices, and their child’s behavior regulation. Mothers in Germany rated children’s behavior regulation significantly higher than mothers in Chile. Further, in both cultural contexts (Chile, Germany), the higher the family risk, the higher was the use of maternal restrictive control and the lower the child’s behavior regulation. In Chile, after including maternal restrictive control, the relation between family risk and children’s behavior regulation remained significant. In Germany, in contrast, there was no direct significant relation between family risk and children’s behavior regulation, instead we found a significant indirect pathway via maternal restrictive control. Further, we investigated the moderating role of neighborhood risk, as distal contextual risk, for the relation between family risk and maternal restrictive control as well as for the relation between maternal restrictive control and children’s behavior regulation. We found no significant overall moderated mediation effect. However, findings in Chile and Germany revealed a conditional indirect effect indicating that family risk and behavior regulation were indirectly related via maternal restrictive control only when neighborhood risk was high. This underlines the need for an integrative consideration of the cultural context as well as family risk and neighborhood risk when investigating the role of maternal parenting for children’s behavior regulation development.

Children's storybooks are relevant resources for references to different emotions, both positive and negative, and provide an excellent opportunity for adults and children to discuss them, thereby promoting children's comprehension of their own and others' inner worlds. However, we know little about the emotions present in children's stories and their frequency. This study investigated references to emotions in children's storybooks for preschoolers in Chile and the United States to analyze their characteristics and the similarities and differences between the two countries. References to specific emotions in the texts of 80 children's storybooks (40 for each country) were coded according to the categories of positive, negative powerless, and negative powerful emotions, and the specific emotions considered. The results revealed more references to positive and negative powerless emotions than to negative powerful emotions in storybooks from both countries, and happiness, fear, sadness, and anger were the predominant specific emotions referenced. For both countries, similar frequencies of references to specific emotions were observed, except for surprise, disappointment, and anger, which appeared more frequently in the Chilean storybooks than in the U.S. storybooks. These results are discussed considering the emotions | 1135 FARKAS et Al.
