“…Pakistan is considered more of a collectivistic culture than the United States (Hofstede Insights, 2019). In Pakistan, relationships are prioritized over individual needs and it is considered one's "duty" to maintain interconnectedness (Zaman, 2014). More than 95% of people living in Pakistan are Muslim (Pew-Templeton Global Religious Futures Project, 2020).…”

This study examined cultural specificity in how interpretations about peer provocation are associated with revenge goals and aggression. The sample consisted of young adolescents from the United States (369 seventh graders; 54.7% male; 77.2% identified as White) and from Pakistan (358 seventh graders; 39.2% male). Participants rated their interpretations and revenge goals in response to six peer provocation vignettes and completed peer nominations of aggressive behavior. Multigroup structural equation models (SEMs) indicated cultural specificity in how interpretations were related to revenge goals. Interpretations that a friendship with the provocateur was unlikely were uniquely related to revenge goals for Pakistani adolescents. For U.S adolescents, positive interpretations were negatively related to revenge but self-blame interpretations were positively related to vengeance goals. Revenge goals were related to aggression similarly across groups.

“…The key characteristics of Punjabi society that are also explicitly reflected and preserved among Pakistani immigrants (such as in Norway and England) are the sense of identity, security, loyalty, belongingness with the baradari (clan), the importance of joint family, higher status of parents, obligatory parent-care when needed (especially when they are old), strong family and kinship ties, and priority to familial responsibilities. Punjabi families are structured in patriarchal, patrilineal extended family systems that provide each member with a distinct role to play (Naess and Vabø, 2014;Qadeer, 2006;Shaw, 2014;Zaman, 2014).…”

PurposeIn last few decades, the native anthropology has been highlighted for its potential to immediately grasping cultural familiarity, contextual sensitivity, and rapport building. Nevertheless, detachment from the native context is also seen as a challenge for the native researcher. This paper aims to provide invaluable information about the fieldwork experience of the author as a native researcher in rural Punjab Pakistan. The author presents and reflects the fieldwork challenges faced and the strategies used to overcome the challenges. The primary objective of this paper is to discuss the methodological strategies to face the challenges of doing at-home ethnography.Design/methodology/approachThis paper is based on ethnographic fieldwork conducted in native context.FindingsDealing with contextual complexity and sensitivity with the author’s native learning, the author used native knowledge as a useful resource to investigate insider’s perspective on infant care belief practices. Furthermore, the author addressed the challenges related to building rapport, gaining friendly access to the families and children, and setting aside presumptions. The author discusses the strategies opted, such as selecting a research assistant, gaining access to the field, planning fieldwork and bracketing native presumptions.Practical implicationsThis paper provides important insight of at-home ethnography and technical understanding to conduct fieldwork in native contexts.Originality/valueBased on my ethnographic fieldwork, this article contributes in contemporary debates on the challenges in doing at-home ethnography.

“…Family collective decision making is evident in matters such as education, marriage, living arrangements, financial and emotional support (Zaman, 2014). Although men play a central role in all decision making, it is women, especially older female members (mothers, mothers-in-law) who take charge on issues related to the social, cultural and medical aspects of reproduction (Ali, Ali, Waheed, & Memon, 2006).…”

“…Although motherhood is cherished, sons are preferred over daughters. Sons ensure the continuation of the family line and are expected to provide economic help and support for parents in old age (Zaman, 2014). Girls on the other hand may be perceived as an economic burden by some because they need dowries for marriage (Zaman, 2014).…”

“…They are assumed to learn when the time comes and ignorance is equated with chastity and purity among girls (Ali, et al, 2006). Marriage is considered a religious obligation and being a mother is considered an honor (a higher honor than being a father) as depicted by the saying, 'heaven lies under a mother's feet' (Zaman, 2014). Abortion is not permitted in Islam except under special circumstances such as danger to the mother (Alamri, 2011) and is illegal in Pakistan.…”
