“…Further, it is common for another family member to serve as the primary disciplinarian for a child in order to protect the sacred bond between parent and child and encourage involvement of extended family members (Glover, 2001). Traditionally, Native cultures are unlikely to overtly discipline their children and make little efforts to control the behaviours of young children; rather parents encourage their children to behave in a cooperative and respectful manner and do things that are best for the tribe (Hupa Indians: Bachtold, 1982; Cree; Gfellner, 1990; Inuit; Sprott, 1994). Therefore, Aboriginal mothers were predicted to report less assertive strategies than European Canadian mothers in response to both types of childhood aggression.…”

The purpose of the present study was to examine the maternal beliefs and practices regarding preschool children's proactive and reactive aggression, within a cross-cultural framework. Participants included 30 Aboriginal and 45 European Canadian mothers of preschoolers who provided their emotional reactions, causal attributions, socialization strategies, and parenting goals in response to children's aggressive behaviours. Results supported previous research that both groups of mothers generally responded negatively to both types of aggression, although there were differences in the extent of negative emotional responses expressed by mothers in the two cultures depending on the type of aggression. Mothers believed that reactive aggression was due to more external causes than proactive aggression and generally used more power assertive strategies in response to proactive versus reactive aggression. Aboriginal mothers were less anxious and used less power assertive strategies than European Canadian mothers. These findings speak to the importance of examining both similarities and differences in mother's beliefs and practices across cultures.

“…For example, although attainment of individual autonomy is considered a universal task in adolescence, the specific meaning of autonomy is constructed differently across cultural groups. Among Whites, autonomy connotes independent and self-reliant behavior, but for African American and Asian children, it involves a great deal of cooperative and interdependent behavior (Batchold, 1982). Insufficient attention and sensitivities to the perceptions and attitudes held by girls and families of different cultural backgrounds may be particularly problematic for programs.…”

Given the growing trend of girls in the juvenile justice system, there has been increasing attention toward providing gender‐specific programming. The Reaffirming Young Sisters' Excellence (RYSE) program was one of Alameda County, Calif., Probation Department's intervention programs designed to address both gender and cultural factors in girls programming. ANCOVA analyses of 350 randomized girls did not provide support for the gender‐specific hypothesis that girls who received RYSE intervention will have a lower recidivism score than girls who received traditional probation services. However, the cultural hypothesis was partially supported with African American girls who participated in the RYSE intervention faring better than Hispanic, White, and Asian RYSE girls, and their African American control counterparts.

“…It is not the relation between socioeconomic status and being involved in more cultural activities that is surprising per se, as previous research has demonstrated that having a higher socioeconomic status is associated with participating in more organized activities (Bartko & Eccles, 2003;Pedersen, 2005;Wimer et al, 2008). Rather, it is the strong positive association between education and cultural engagement, inclusive of cultural activities and language knowledge, that is surprising, as it goes against prior reports of a cultural mismatch between engagement in traditional AI culture and higher educational attainment (e.g., Bachtold, 1982;Dehyle, 1992;Dehyle & LeCompte, 1994).…”

The ability of American Indian children (N = 99; 7-12 years of age) to reframe a memory of a friend's seemingly mean-spirited actions (Story 1) after hearing the friend's perspective detailing her/his good intentions (Story 2) was explored. Children in a control group heard an unrelated Story 2 and did not alter their retelling of Story 1. Good verbal skills facilitated the integration of the friend's perspective in memory for the children who heard the friend's explanation. Higher scores on the working memory and inhibition tasks were associated with higher verbal ability scores. Older children had better working memory and inhibitory skills than younger children. Cultural engagement predicted better social competence ratings but not higher memory reframing scores as predicted.
