Introduction to the Joint Effort Toddler Temperament Consortium (JETTC) -- Methodology of the Joint Effort Toddler Temperament Consortium (JETTC) -- PART 1: Temperament and emerging symptoms/behavior problems -- Cross-cultural differences in temperament -- Cross-cultural differences in behavior problems -- Cross-cultural differences in associations between temperament and behavior problems -- PART 2: The developmental niche -- Cross-cultural differences in socialization goals and parental ethnotheories -- Cross-cultural differences in child activities -- Cross-cultural differences in children's sleep -- Cross-cultural differences in discipline -- Cross-cultural differences in parents' responses to child temperament -- Integrating the developmental niche: relations among socialization goals, parental ethnotheories, daily activities, and parental responses to temperament -- PART 3: The niche and the child: links between parental psychology, developmental context, and child outcomes -- Socialization goals, parental ethnotheories, toddler temperament, and behavior problems -- Play / activities, temperament, and behavior problems -- Sleep, temperament, and behavior problems -- Discipline, temperament, and behavior problems -- Parental responses, toddler temperament, and behavior problems -- Bringing it all together: mediational models -- Summary and future directions.

Summary: "One doesn’t have to travel extensively to realize that there are intriguing differences in the ways in which people from different cultures tend to behave. Gartstein and Putnam explore whether these differences are shaped during the early years of life, at the moment when children are just beginning to understand how, when, and why they should express some emotions, and not others. Based on the findings of the Joint Effort Toddler Temperament Consortium (JETTC), which asked parents from 14 different countries multiple questions regarding their main goals and techniques for raising children to be successful in their culture, Gartstein and Putnam analyze how children’s characteristics (both normative and problematic) are shaped by different cultural environments. Drawing from insights in anthropology, sociology, and developmental psychology, the book explores the full spectrum of human experience, from broad sets of values and concerns that differentiate populations down to the intimate details of parent-child relationships. The results reveal a complex web of interrelations among societal ideals, parental attempts to fulfill them, and the ways their children manifest these efforts. In doing so, they provide a revealing look at how families raise their young children around the world. Toddlers, Parents, and Culture will be of great interest to students and scholars in temperament, cross-cultural psychology, parenting, and socioemotional development in early childhood, as well as professionals in early education, child mental health, and behavioral pediatrics."--Back cover
