gender and child Behavior problems in rural nepal differential expectations and responses
Scientific Reports, 2019Co-Authors: Julia Langer, Matthew D Burkey, Lajina Ghimire, Brandon A Kohrt, Julia V Ramos, Sauharda RaiAbstract:Whereas epidemiologic studies consistently identify different rates and types of Problematic Behavior in boys and girls, there has been little research examining the ecocultural context in which these gender differences in child Behavior problems develop, especially in non-Western settings. This qualitative study in rural Nepal explored how Behavioral expectations differed based on gender role, gender discrimination, inequity, and treatment of children based on their gender identity. We conducted semi-structured interviews with a total of 14 parents, school workers, and community leaders from a village in rural Nepal. Interview transcripts were coded by two authors using predetermined and emergent codes to identify expectations, Behavior problems, and responses to Behavior problems, stratified by gender. Authors then arranged codes into categories based on emergent themes. Four major themes in the interviews were identified: (1) self-reported gender non-bias; (2) differentiated role expectations; (3) gender, “goodness”, and differential thresholds for problem Behaviors; and (4) boys and girls require different responses for misBehavior. Results from our study in Nepal reflect nearly universal models of gender differences in Behavior. Of particular importance in South Asia, patrilocal marital practices were used to frame gender differences in expectations. To protect girls’ future potential to marry, local cultural practices provide girls with lesser opportunities and less cultural space to conduct themselves in a disruptive manner than boys. Greater understanding of differential expectations and responses to disruptive Behaviors by gender will be important for culturally-appropriate equitable programming in child development.

the ecocultural context and child Behavior problems a qualitative analysis in rural nepal
Social Science & Medicine, 2016Co-Authors: Matthew D Burkey, Lajina Ghimire, Ramesh P Adhikari, Lawrence S Wissow, Mark J D Jordans, Brandon A KohrtAbstract:Commonly used paradigms for studying child psychopathology emphasize individual-level factors and often neglect the role of context in shaping risk and protective factors among children, families, and communities. To address this gap, we evaluated influences of ecocultural contextual factors on definitions, development of, and responses to child Behavior problems and examined how contextual knowledge can inform culturally responsive interventions. We drew on Super and Harkness' "developmental niche" framework to evaluate the influences of physical and social settings, childcare customs and practices, and parental ethnotheories on the definitions, development of, and responses to child Behavior problems in a community in rural Nepal. Data were collected between February and October 2014 through in-depth interviews with a purposive sampling strategy targeting parents (N = 10), teachers (N = 6), and community leaders (N = 8) familiar with child-rearing. Results were supplemented by focus group discussions with children (N = 9) and teachers (N = 8), pile-sort interviews with mothers (N = 8) of school-aged children, and direct observations in homes, schools, and community spaces. Behavior problems were largely defined in light of parents' socialization goals and role expectations for children. Certain physical settings and times were seen to carry greater risk for Problematic Behavior when children were unsupervised. Parents and other adults attempted to mitigate Behavior problems by supervising them and their social interactions, providing for their physical needs, educating them, and through a shared verbal reminding strategy (samjhaune). The findings of our study illustrate the transactional nature of Behavior problem development that involves context-specific goals, roles, and concerns that are likely to affect adults' interpretations and responses to children's Behavior. Ultimately, employing a developmental niche framework will elucidate setting-specific risk and protective factors for culturally compelling intervention strategies.

marital discord and child Behavior problems parent child relationship quality and child interpersonal awareness as mediators
Journal of Family Issues, 1998Co-Authors: Amanda W Harrist, Ricardo C AinslieAbstract:To date, specific mechanisms at work in the link between marital discord and children's Problematic Behavior remain unclear. In the present study, three types of variables—marital discord (nonconsensus and arguing-related stress), parent-child relationship quality (global quality and daily time spent together), and child interpersonal awareness (ability to infer emotions in social situations)—were used as predictors of children's social Behavioral profiles in a sample of 45 5-year-olds. Regression analyses were conducted to assess the efficacy of a mediational model for predicting child Behavior problems from marital discord. Evidence was found for indirect relations between marital discord and both social withdrawal and aggression: Marital discord predicted lower quality parent-child relationships, which, in turn, predicted high levels of child aggression. For child social withdrawal, the prediction from marital discord was mediated by both parent-child relationship quality and child interpersonal awareness.

parent identification of early emerging child Behavior problems predictors of sharing parental concern with health providers
JAMA Pediatrics, 2004Co-Authors: Katherine Ellingson, Margaret J Briggsgowan, Alice S Carter, Sarah M HorwitzAbstract:Objectives To better understand the predictors of parental discussions with pediatric care providers (pediatricians, psychologists/psychiatrists, social workers, early intervention providers, or other medical specialists) regarding early child Behavior problems and to suggest strategies for eliciting early identification from parents in health care settings. Design A cross-sectional survey of parents of children from a representative healthy birth cohort. The survey included the Infant-Toddler Social Emotional Assessment, measurement of parental worry regarding Problematic Behavior, and demographic factors. Setting Fifteen urban and suburban towns in the northeastern United States. Participants The study sample consisted of all parents of 11- to 39-month-olds (n = 269) who exceeded the 90th percentile on 1 or more Infant-Toddler Social Emotional Assessment problem domain scores (representing elevated Problematic Behavior symptoms) from an original sample of 1278. Results Few parents (17.7%) who reported elevated Problematic Behavior spoke to a provider about such problems. In adjusted models, speaking to a provider was associated with reported worry about Behavior (odds ratio [OR], 3.47 [95% confidence interval (CI), 1.74-6.92]) and with low reported child social-emotional competence (OR, 2.68 [95% CI, 1.23-5.84]). In adjusted models, worry was most likely among parents who reported low child competence (OR, 2.18 [95% CI, 1.07-4.22]) and disruption in family routines attributed to the child's Behavior (OR, 2.38 [95% CI, 1.31-4.33]). Conclusions Parental worry is a robust predictor of help seeking among parents of children with Behavioral problems. Further, lags in social competence contribute to both parental worry and help seeking. These findings, in conjunction with previous evidence that child Behavior problems amenable to early intervention are often unidentified, suggest that systematic inquiry by health care providers about parental concerns is important in the identification of early emerging Behavioral health problems.
