Fascinating narrative but was this a true "research study" in which hundreds or thousands of families were given the same questions? I can't find it in the study text, which reads more like a book chapter than a study. I can't find it in the article, nor do I see it in the Slate interview.
Can anyone else find the actual text that says, "We surveyed this many families and asked them these specific questions"?
It reads like a book chapter because it is a book chapter:
"Themes and Variations: Parental Ethnotheories in Western Cultures ... to appear in: Rubin, K. (Ed.), Parental beliefs, parenting, and child development in cross-cultural perspective. New York: Psychology Press."
