Each country has its own cultural model of parenting, which means that parental behaviors vary accordingly around the world (LeVine et al., 1994). This idea has led many authors to stress the importance of studying the contexts in which parenting takes place (Baumrind, 1966, 1996; Bronfenbrenner, 1979; Kotchick & Forehand, 2002; Richaud, 2010). These authors advocate carrying out studies on parent-child interactions for a range of cultural, socioeconomic, racial, and ethnic groups. The reasoning behind this is that parents´ goals and values for children change as a result of the parents? cultural and educational characteristics (Suizzo, 2007). Differences in culture in terms of the expectations that children have at each stage of their development may result in contrasting trends of parent-child interactions and varying child outcomes (Richaud, 2010).
