Editorial reading guide · Kindness
Would each person in our family describe the same gesture as caring?
The authors examine whether children and their two parents agree about warmth at home.
Who was studied?
687 sixth-grade children and their mothers and fathers
Age / stage: Sixth grade
Read with three questions
- How did the authors investigate whether children and their two parents agree about warmth at home?
- What other family or child characteristics could account for the observed pattern?
- Did mother, father and sixth grader have to agree for a family to enter a particular profile?
Keep the limits in view
The profiles are statistical groupings from three family members’ reports. They do not categorically describe every family member’s experience.
