Kinderzeichnungen als bedeutsamer Zugang zur kindlichen Perspektive auf die Welt und die eigene Position darin könnten vor allem in der kulturvergleichenden Forschung verstärkt interessieren. Versteht man Kinderzeichnungen als Bilder und damit (auch) als Träger von kulturellen Bedeutungen, in denen sich Erfahrungen und implizite Wissensbestände der Zeichnenden dokumentieren, bietet sich eine rekonstruktive Analyse an, die gleichsam ‚hinter' das offensichtlich Abgebildete schaut. In der vorliegenden dokumentarischen Interpretation von Kinderzeichnungen aus Ghana und Deutschland wird deutlich, wie sich die Zeichnenden zu (sozio-)kulturell spezifischen Erwartungen einerseits und zu kulturübergreifenden Entwicklungsanforderungen anderseits positionieren. Damit gelingt sowohl ein Einblick in die kindliche Perspektive auf Entwicklungs- und Sozialisationsprozesse als auch in kulturell spezifische Normierungen, welche diese Prozesse rahmen.

Psychopathology in adolescents from seven countries: What role does controlling identity development and family relationships play? Abstract. This study analyzed the unique effects of gender and culture on psychopathology in adolescents from seven countries, after controlling for factors that might have contributed to variations in psychopathology. In a sample of 2259 adolescents ( M = 15 years; 54 % female) from France, Germany, Turkey, Greece, Peru, Pakistan, and Poland, we assessed identity development, maternal parenting (support, psychological control, anxious rearing), and psychopathology (internalizing, externalizing). Using an analysis of covariance (ANCOVA), we analyzed country, sex, age, and the interaction country x sex as independent variables, while controlling for maternal rearing dimensions and identity development as covariates. This resulted in similar findings for internalizing and externalizing symptoms: Identity rumination and maternal rearing (support, psychological control, anxious rearing) proved to be significant covariates. Further, country, sex, age, and the interaction country x sex were significant. These analyses result in a clearer picture of culture- and gender-specific effects on psychopathology, which is helpful in designing interventions.

Identity Development, Family Relations, and Symptomatology in Adolescents from Seven Countries This study analyzed identity development and parental rearing in adolescents from seven countries. In a sample of 2,259 adolescents (M = 15 years; 54 % female) from France, Germany, Turkey, Greece, Peru, Pakistan, and Poland, maternal parenting (support, psychological control, anxious rearing), identity development (exploration, commitment and ruminative exploration) and psychopathology was assessed. Adolescents from central Europe (France and Germany) were characterized by quite low scores in most identity dimensions, compared to adolescents from all other countries. Particular high were scores in exploration and commitment among adolescents from Turkey, Greece, Peru and Pakistan. In some countries, adolescents described the family relations as characterized by high levels of anxious rearing and psychological control, which was, however, not associated with elevated levels of total symptomatology. The findings show that what is adaptive in one cultural context is depending on cultural norms and family traditions. This information is helpful in designing interventions.
