Kuntoro, I. A., Peterson, C. C., & Slaughter, V. (2017). Culture, parenting, and children’s 

theory of mind development in Indonesia. Journal of Cross-Cultural Psychology, 48(9),

1389-1409.

1. In the introduction, Kuntoro and colleagues (2017) posit that culture may have a pretty distinct role in the development of theory of mind. What do they say about this? Why do you think that is?

2. Based on what was surprising about Kuntoro et al.’s (2017) results in regards to parenting style in a collectivist culture, how do you think parents in the U.S. can uniquely support TOM development in their kids?

 

3. What do you feel is the take home message in the Kuntoro and colleagues (2017) article? Why is this article important for American parents to understand?

 

4. In what ways do you think measuring TOM capabilities across the lifespan is necessary or relevant to the field of developmental psychology?

 

5. What do you think would happen if typically developing children developed TOM much later? Think of this in terms of relationships within the home and at school.

 

6. Do you think TOM exists in other animals? Search the internet for support, report about what you have found (consider chimpanzees, dogs, birds, dolphins, cats, your favorite animal).
