Abstract

To begin accounting for contextual factors related to child rearing in Indonesian and Malaysian families, the current study examined parenting practices in two-parent families of Javanese Indonesia (JI), Chinese Indonesia (CI), Malay Malaysia (MM), and Chinese Malaysia (CM) parents. Parents in all groups reported using consistently parenting strategies, between father and mother. Malaysian parents, especially MM, reported greater use of authoritarian practices than Indonesian parents. Meanwhile, Indonesian parents, especially CI, reported greater use of authoritative practices than Malaysian parents. Results suggest that previously found cultural variations in parenting between Indonesian parents and Malaysian parents may be related to the ecological context of Indonesian and Malaysian families. Developmental psychologist should explore the positive qualities of authoritative parenting in the families along with the potential motivations for using authoritarian strategies.
