This within-group study utilized a culturally-relevant framework in examining relations between parenting behaviors, parents' personality traits, and children's social competence in a sample of 210 low-income immigrant Chinese families enrolled in an urban Head Start program. A combination of authoritarian and authoritative parenting behaviors in Chinese families was considered. Parenting behaviors then were considered with relation to parents' endorsement of culturally salient personality traits. Influences of demographic factors were considered. Although personality trait research has traditionally utilized frameworks that assume cultural universality (e.g. the Big Five), evidence suggests that an alternate personality framework may be more relevant in describing Chinese personality. A personality trait known as Interpersonal Relatedness describes orientation towards harmonious social interactions and avoidance of conflict and was assessed using the CPAI-2, a personality measure incorporating unique aspects of Chinese personality structure. Parents' orientation towards Interpersonal Relatedness can have implications on our understanding of the development of children's social competence. Children's social competence was measured by peer play behaviors, controlling for children's emotion regulation. The direct relations between Chinese parenting practices, parental Interpersonal Relatedness, and children's preschool social competence were examined using hierarchical setwise multiple regression. Finally, path analyses were conducted to test a hypothesized model in which parenting practices, operating through Interpersonal Relatedness, influenced children's peer play behaviors. Results revealed that overall, Chinese parents practiced both authoritarian and authoritative parenting behaviors equally, as parents' did not appear to favor one style over another. However, parents' use of authoritarian practices appeared to be sensitive to variability in parents' adherence to Interpersonal Relatedness. Results of the nested model path analysis suggested that parent personality at least partially mediated children's peer play behaviors, specifically with suppressive effects on disconnected and disruptive play. The results from the present sample suggest that the effects of parenting on children's social development in urban Chinese immigrant families may be best understood using alternative frameworks of parenting. In particular, interpretations of Chinese authoritarian parenting should take into consideration parents' Chinese cultural values. Implications for future research and practice are discussed.
