What might a young adult remember differently about the responses of two caregivers?
Participants reported perceived rejection separately for mothers and fathers in a small cross-cultural sample.
Who was studied?
One hundred and thirty-three young adults from Italy and Japan.
Age / stage: Ages 18–27
Read with three questions
- How does the small sample limit interpretation of the gene-by-environment comparison?
- Which parts of the interaction were directly observed and which were inferred or reported?
- What might a young adult remember differently about the responses of two caregivers?
Keep the limits in view
The study measures behaviors or experiences in a particular sample and setting. It cannot establish the effect of changing a response in an individual family.
