| Popis: | OBJECTIVES Previous research has documented that Latinos/as value the cultural script Simpatia, a tendency to be kind, polite, and focus on others. No previous study has been able to capture the behavioral markers of Simpatia in a naturalistic environment. METHOD Behavioral cross-sectional audio data were collected on the daily interactions between Latina and White European mothers with their partners and other adults using a digital audio recorder across 4 days. A mixed-methods approach was used to analyze the data. RESULTS Latinas exhibited increased behavioral Simpatia when talking to other adults compared to White European counterparts. Additionally, Latina mothers chose as a main character of their conversations other people rather than themselves. Conversely, White European mothers chose themselves as a main character of their conversations instead of other people. CONCLUSIONS These results show that core features of Simpatia (kindness and focus on others) can be found at the behavioral level in the environment that Latina mothers face on a daily basis. Implications for the cultural self and future research are discussed. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2019 APA, all rights reserved). |
