According to the results of cross-cultural research, distal parenting often results in toddlers who are self aware but less obedient than those who engage in proximal parenting?
Is this False? I have no idea on where to find the answer to this...

Thanks! What about this question:
When parents modify their child-rearing expectations according to their offspring's temperamental style, the result is a more harmonious "fit" between them?
I would say this is "false" because it wouldn't benefit anyone in the long run
I disagree with you. Not all children are alike. Within reason, parents should consider their child's temperament. Sometimes just saying "no" will cause a stubborn child to rebel. Working with the child and explaining why may work better with that child.
To determine the accuracy of the statement, we can break it down and analyze its components:
1. Distal parenting: This refers to a parenting style characterized by being more emotionally distant or less involved with the child.
2. Proximal parenting: This refers to a parenting style characterized by being more emotionally close, involved, and responsive to the child's needs.
3. Self-awareness: This refers to a child's ability to recognize and understand their own thoughts, feelings, and actions.
4. Obedience: This refers to a child's compliance or willingness to follow rules and instructions.
To find out if the statement is true or false, we can look at the results of cross-cultural research on these parenting styles and their impact on toddler behavior.
One way to find research on this topic is by searching for relevant studies or scholarly articles. Academic databases like Google Scholar or PsychInfo can be helpful for finding these types of articles. Using keywords such as "distal parenting," "proximal parenting," "toddler behavior," and "cross-cultural research" might help narrow down the search results.
Once you have access to relevant articles, you can read through the methodology, findings, and conclusions to see if any align with the statement in question. Pay attention to the sample size, demographics of participants, and any limitations identified by the researchers.
In conclusion, to determine the accuracy of the statement, you would need to review research studies on cross-cultural parenting styles and their impact on toddler behavior.
