Collectivistic vs individualistic, based on ideas of interdependence versus independence. Longitudinal study of infants in china, spain, and the u. s. Chinese infants more active, displayed more distress when placed in limiting situations, more fearful, more persistent, and more easily soothed relative to american infants. Behavioral inhibition - behaviors related to shyness and extreme social anxiety. If you look at kids behaviorally inhibited in the us, you see other negative behaviors as well. Chinese children are often rated as more inhibited and shy, but no negative repercussions as seen in american children. Individuals react to others in approximately the same way over time to due temperament. When focusing on elements of infant attachment, not so much parent temperament. Match between the behaviors of the infant and the expectations of the parent or caregiver. More challenging to develop secure attachments with difficult infants, but training programs help.
