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.

PARENTING AND FAMILY

Family influences, in particular, are perhaps the earliest and longest lasting influences upon us. For most people, family—however it is defined—begins to have impact from birth, or even during the prenatal period, and continues to have influence into adolescence and beyond. Many families remain influential even when its members are all well into adulthood. Families exert their influence in many ways, such as through the type of discipline practices they utilize, the degree to which they encourage a child’s independence or dependence, and the social and moral values they instill (such as religious beliefs and ideas about the value of formal education). 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:
