DESCRIPTION:Children's development is shaped by a variety of factors\, inc
 luding individual characteristics (e.g. age\, gender and child temperament
 )\, parenting practices\, and broader environmental factors\, such as cult
 ure and society. In comparison to Western cultures which emphasise more on
  child autonomy\, Chinese culture emphasises on parental authority and chi
 ldren’s compliance in a more consistent and absolute manner. Chinese par
 ents usually take on more dominant roles when interacting with their child
 ren.\nThis cross-cultural study explores the links between parental author
 ity\, disciplinary strategies and child compliance in a sample of 89 Taiwa
 nese\, Chinese immigrant (in the UK)\, and English families (with 5-to-7 y
 ear-old children). Parent-child interactions were measured using systemati
 c observational methodologies. \nThe findings showed significant cultural 
 differences in children's situational compliance and mothers' use of contr
 ol and forceful/negative control: the Taiwanese children showed more situa
 tional compliance than the Chinese immigrant children\, and the English mo
 thers used less control and less forceful/negative control than the Taiwan
 ese mothers.
