Abstract

This study examines cross-national differences in parental age expectations, consumer socialization and the relationship between these variables and reciprocal parent–child communication. Parents from the United States held earlier developmental timetables than Australian, Japanese, Greek and Indian parents. Reciprocal, concept-oriented family communication was related to early developmental timetables, parental control of children's television viewing and the frequency that parents shop with their children.
