W88455576 abstract "JAPANESE MOTHERS’ PARENTING STYLES WITH PRESCHOOL-AGE CHILDREN Ai Shibazaki Lau Marriage, Family, and Human Development Program School of Family Life Master of Science The purpose of this study was to examine whether Western typologies of parenting (authoritative, authoritarian, permissive, and psychological control) and their dimensions (e.g., connection, regulation, physical punishment, verbal hostility) can be measured in the context of Japanese parenting. Based on the literature review, it was hypothesized that these parenting constructs are measurable in Japan. The participants were 214 Japanese mothers of preschoolage children (101 boys and 113 girls) from several preschools in Kushiro-city, Japan. A series of two-group (boys and girls) Confirmatory Factor Analysis was carried out with Mplus statistical software to test the measurement models of authoritative, authoritarian, permissive, and psychological control constructs and to establish measurement invariance across child gender. In addition, latent intercorrelations and gender differences in the means of the latent constructs were computed. To a large extent, our hypotheses were confirmed. In line with expectations, authoritative and authoritarian parenting items formed a 23-item, five-factor model. For psychological control, a 9-item, two-factor model emerged, indicating that the constructs of shaming and directiveness are also measurable in Japan. However, an invariant measurement model for permissive parenting could not be identified. Based on latent intercorrelations, many parenting dimensions were highly correlated, but a series of chi-square difference tests showed that most dimensions were statistically distinguished within our measurement models. Interestingly, shaming and directiveness were associated with dimensions of both authoritative and authoritarian parenting. Latent mean comparisons identified no significant gender difference in Japanese mothers’ parenting patterns for boys and girls. This study was one of the first quantitative, systematic studies of parenting styles in Japan using advanced statistical modeling and represents a starting point for cross-cultural research in Japanese parenting. ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I owe much to those who have helped and supported me as I have worked toward the completion of this thesis. First of all, I want to thank my graduate committee members. As a mentor, Dr. Craig Hart not only guided me with his tremendous knowledge and resources but also taught me the enjoyment of doing research. It would have been absolutely impossible for me to finish my thesis without his emotional support, kind words, and great sense of humor. I express my gratitude to Dr. Susanne Olsen Roper for her friendship, encouragement, and outstanding editing skills. I want to thank Dr. Larry Nelson for his passion for research and insightful feedback on my work. I also express my appreciation to Dr. Clyde Robinson, who taught me important statistical skills and helped outline my paper. I want to thank Dr. Sueko Toda at Hokkaido University, who collected the data used for this thesis, and Dr. Chongming Yang at Duke University and Dr. Joseph Olson for their help with my statistical analyses. I appreciate the constant support and encouragement I received from my fellow graduate students in the program. Lastly, I want to express my love and appreciation to my family members. I want to thank my husband’s family, who offered a tremendous amount of assistance to help me complete my degree. I can never express enough gratitude to my own parents: Masayuki and Fusako Shibazaki. They are not only great experts in early childhood development, but also are wonderful parents whose dedication and selflessness have always inspired me to become a better person. Special thanks to my son, Kent, whose smiles and laughter have cheered me up in times of hardships. Finally, I want to express my deep love and gratitude to my husband, Jeremy, for always inspiring me through his hard work and giving me confidence to finish this thesis and pursue my future goals.
