“…On the other hand, cultures with a high regard for the family tend to demand more and earlier of children to take responsibility for the welfare of family members and to assign chores and responsibilities in the family. In support of this notion, Knight et al (1982) found Mexican-American children to be more cooperative than Anglo-American children, who were found to be rather competitive. Several researchers have suggested that children and youth from traditional rural and semiagricultural communities and from relatively traditional subcultures are therefore more cooperative than children from urban or Westernized cultures (see Eisenberg et al, 2006 for an overview and discussion of this research).…”

“…The second effect of culture on the relationship between parenting and prosocial behavior may be that cultural differences in parental socialization are the means by which cultural differences in prosocial tendencies arise (Knight et al, 1982;Whiting and Whiting, 1973). Cross-cultural perspectives on development assume that cultural emphases on particular values and socialization toward these values have an accelerating influence on the development in specific domains (Greenfield et al, 2003;Keller, 2007;Rothbaum et al, 2000b).…”

“…Similarly, a restrictive and punitive parenting style has been associated with improved cognitive development among low-SES families but not among higher SES families (Baldwin, Baldwin, & Cole, 1990). However, several studies have found that a family's SES does not moderate the effects of corporal punishment on children (e.g., Kandel, 1990;Straus et al, 1997;Weiss et al, 1992) although there is some evidence that SES moderates the association between parents' general punitiveness and children's prosocial orientation (Knight, Kagan, & Buriel, 1982).…”

Although the merits of parents using corporal punishment to discipline children have been argued for decades, a thorough understanding of whether and how corporal punishment affects children has not been reached. Toward this end, the author first presents the results of meta-analyses of the association between parental corporal punishment and 11 child behaviors and experiences. Parental corporal punishment was associated with all child constructs, including higher levels of immediate compliance and aggression and lower levels of moral internalization and mental health. The author then presents a process-context model to explain how parental corporal punishment might cause particular child outcomes and considers alternative explanations. The article concludes by identifying 7 major remaining issues for future research.Corporal punishment has been an integral part of how parents discipline their children throughout the history of the United States (Greven, 1991) and has been a focus of psychological research for

“…A cross-sectional study of 433 youth (5-22 years old) from Mexican villages and small towns, youth were more cooperative, helpful and more likely to avoid conflict than middle class Mexican (n=60), Mexican-American (n=155), or Anglo-American (n=215) children (Kagan, Knight, & Martinez-Romero, 1982). Similarly, a cross-sectional study of 120 Mexican American and Anglo American fourth-through sixth-graders found that the Mexican American children were more cooperative and helpful than the Anglo American children (Knight, Kagan, & Buriel, 1982). In addition, in a cross-sectional study of 20 groups of 9 -11 year old children, children from kibbutzim in Israel were more helpful than their urban counterparts (Shapira & Lomranz, 1972).…”

relationships or good social skills cannot manipulate a youth's gender or ethnicity. However, the studies that highlight these characteristics as important antecedents can be used to identify groups that may be at most risk for not having close relationships or good social skills. These characteristics may need to be addressed in the design of a program geared toward a specific subgroup. Throughout this paper, our aim is to go beyond the broad identification of which factors appear to be linked to social skills and competencies, to the identification of specific strategies (the kinds of programs and activities within these programs) that have been attempted and evaluated, and/or for which there is evidence that initiating programs with these activities has the potential to contribute to improved social competency. Due to the rigorous criteria we set for our selected literature review, we may not have identified all programs and activities across the country that may be effective in promoting these skills. This point is especially pertinent for the research based on adolescents. Compared to adults, and even to younger children, there is a relative dearth of high quality research for adolescents. WHAT ARE THE ANTECEDENTS OF SOCIAL RELATIONSHIPS? Social relationships are crucial aspects of individuals' lives. This is certainly true for adolescents. This section of the chapter addresses the antecedents of quality social relationships. This section is divided into domains: family relationships and non-family relationships. The family relationships that are discussed include parents, siblings, and grandparents/other family members. The non-family relationships include other adults and peers, such as an adolescent's best friend and dating partner. As mentioned above, quality social relationships and good social skills are interrelated. Often different studies find these factors to be antecedents for each other. Family Relationships Parents development programs and even mentoring programs may enhance the quality of the parentyouth relationship. A number of antecedents have been documented for a quality parent-youth relationship. However, it is important to emphasize that many of these studies are cross-sectional, and some are longitudinal in design. These study designs make it impossible to determine the direction of causation between the variables we have characterized as antecedents of parent-youth relationships and the relationship, itself. Siblings Research has revealed a number of antecedents related to the development of conflict resolution skills. These findings should be interpreted with some prudence, however, as the studies which generated them were mostly cross-sectional or longitudinal in nature. As stated before, the only kind of study that can determine an actual casual relationship is that of experimental design. However, certain experimental evaluations of the skills-training programs provide strong evidence on this topic: adolescents who lack the skills necessary to negotiate conflict can attain them thr...
