Human beings are not merely brains in vats; if that were the case, we could leave any study of psychology solely to geneticists and neuroscientists. The reality, of course, is that though biopsychological influences are indeed important and merit careful study, sociocultural environments, including influences related to history, society, culture, and family, also deeply impact humans.

Family influences, in particular, are perhaps the earliest and longest lasting influences upon us.

Such influences vary across the globe. Other examples of international variation include significant differences in which persons are viewed as family (such as only close biological relatives, extended family relatives, or non-related cohabiting adults and children) and differences in sleeping patterns (such as whether or not, or for how many years, parents or siblings sleep together in the same bed with a child).

Review the assigned learning resources. Compare the Shiraev & Levy (2024) and Lansford (2022) article and consider how the authors see the tension/balance between individualistic and collective parenting skills. Reflect on the position you took from the article “Can Parents Be Both Individualist and Collectivist?” for the Skill Building exercise.

In at least two paragraphs, build on your submission to the Skill Building Activity and, integrating the textbook information, do the following:

Describe one commonality between how Shiraev & Levy (2024) and Lansford (2022) address the balance between individualist and collective parenting skills. Describe one difference between how Shiraev & Levy (2024) and Lansford (2022) address the balance between individualist and collective parenting skills. Explain your own position in this comparison and provide an illustrative example.
