Maternal Responsiveness to Infants in Three Societies: The United States, France, and Japan.

Bornstein, Marc H.; And Others

Child Development, v63 n4 p808-21 Aug 1992

During observed interactions between mothers and infants in New York, Paris, and Tokyo, mothers responded to infants' exploration of the environment with encouragement, infants' vocalized nondistress with imitation, and infants' distress with nurturance. Cultural differences in maternal responsiveness to infant looking behavior were found. (BC)
