Abstract From an early age, children are taught norms about socially-acceptable behaviors; however, children’s ability to recognize these norms often predates their tendency to follow them. This conflict between understanding and action has been predominantly studied in cases when enacting the norm would be costly for the child (i.e. when sharing would result in forgoing resources), but is underexplored

Perceived Parental Undifferentiated Rejection and Children’s Personality Dispositions: A Meta-Analysis of Multicultural Studies J. Genet. Psychol. (IF 1.6) Pub Date : 2022-09-01 Sumbleen Ali, Mosammat N. Khatun, Abdul Khaleque, Ronald P. Rohner
Abstract Prior multicultural meta-analyses have shown that three of the four individual expressions of parental rejection (viz., coldness/lack of affection, hostility/aggression, and indifference/neglect) tend to be significantly associated with all seven of the personality dispositions most central to interpersonal acceptance-rejection theory (IPARTheory). These dispositions include hostility/aggression
