Childrearing Experiences in Cross-National Families
Xiang, Yajuan; Colson, Tori
International Journal of the Whole Child, v3 n1 p4-18 2018
Cross-national family is an understudied group. In the past, research on this group tended to focus on the challenges confronted by the couples in marital conflicts impacted by the unique stressors within the family including: place of residence, disparate language and cultural differences, societal attitudes, and extended families and friends. A relatively small proportion of the literature focused on multicultural parenting experiences which is recognized as a turning point for increasing conflicts within couples. Through surveys and selected interviews, this qualitative study provides insightful narrative descriptions to further understand how the unique stressors might impact childrearing experiences. Results describe parents' perceptions on their cross-national marriages and multicultural parenting experiences.
