Table 1_Maternal emotion socialization in Chinese, Indian, and European American families is a 246.3 KB document dataset by Meingold Hiu-ming Chan, last updated in April 2026. It integrates two cross-cultural studies with 193 participants (mean age 3.37 years) from Hong Kong Chinese, Beijing Chinese, Indian, and European American groups. The data examines cultural variations in maternal emotion socialization practices and the role of socialization goals.

Use Cases

• Analyzing cross-cultural differences in maternal emotion socialization practices based on the described cultural groups.
• Modeling the relationship between emotion-related socialization goals and specific ES practices like distress or training responses.
• Investigating within-culture variations in emotion socialization, such as differences between Hong Kong and Beijing Chinese mothers.

Strengths

• Data integrates two cross-cultural studies with a total of 193 participants.
• Includes four distinct cultural groups for comparative analysis: Hong Kong Chinese, Beijing Chinese, Indian, and European American.
• Explicitly examines the culturally embedded factor of emotion-related socialization goals.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• The dataset is a 246.3 KB DOC file, indicating a limited scope and likely summary or table format rather than raw observational data.
