The relationship between asian parenting practices and preschoolers’ development of executive function

The purpose of the study is to examine the relationship between Asian parenting practices and children’s development of executive functioning. The Asian parenting practices were measured using Chinese Child-Rearing Beliefs Questionnaires and the study has found some subscales of the parenting practices may be important to children’s executive function. Result showed that the use of shaming in parenting practices was negatively correlated with children’s inhibitory control and the use of training in parenting practices was positively correlated with children’s effortful control. These findings add to previous study on the links between parent-child relationship and individual differences in executive function abilities.Bachelor of Art
