Does talking openly with parents carry the same meaning across cultural settings?
Using comparable communication measures in several cultural groups offers a way to examine where associations do and do not generalize.
Who was studied?
Adolescents from 12 cultural groups in nine countries
Age / stage: Early adolescence
Read with three questions
- Does talking openly with parents carry the same meaning across cultural settings?
- Whose observations or reports were used, and what competing explanations are compatible with them?
- Which features of the study population (adolescents from 12 cultural groups in nine countries) would matter when applying the findings in another setting?
Keep the limits in view
Averaging across 12 cultural groups can obscure variation within a group. These reports do not define what any individual adolescent means by keeping something private.
