The purpose of the present project was to explore the relations between Chinese cultural values and parenting behaviors, and how both relate to Chinese preschoolers' social-emotional adjustment in a sample of immigrant Chinese families. Samples of Chinese parents and their preschool children were drawn from an urban-based Head Start program in the northeastern United States. Information on parent traits, parenting behaviors, and children's play behaviors was gathered from parents' self-report using established instruments translated into Chinese. (author abstract)
