How does a caregiver's responsiveness relate to children's curiosity about what they do not know?

The authors distinguish different kinds of curiosity and ask caregivers to report on both child behavior and parenting practice.

Who was studied?

Caregivers of children recruited through educational settings in Japan

Age / stage: 3–12 years

Read with three questions

  1. How does a caregiver's responsiveness relate to children's curiosity about what they do not know?
  2. Whose observations or reports were used, and what competing explanations are compatible with them?
  3. Which features of the study population (caregivers of children recruited through educational settings in Japan) would matter when applying the findings in another setting?

Keep the limits in view

Caregivers in Japan rated their own responsiveness and their children's curiosity. Shared reporting and recruitment through educational institutions may influence the association.
