| Annotation | Although elder abuse has recently received increased attention, the role of one's culture in the perception of elder abuse and the impact of parental practices on judgments about the acceptability of abusive behaviours has been neglected. The authors designed a cross-cultural study to examine recollections of parental acceptance and control and perceptions of the abusiveness and typicality of caregiver behaviours toward older people in Korean and white American undergraduate students. American students recalled their parents as more accepting and more controlling than did Korean students. Korean students viewed psychological abuse towards older people as more abusive; but they regarded material abuse, physical abuse, and neglect as less abusive than did American students. Parental acceptance was positively related to perceptions of abusiveness for Korean, but not for American students. (RH). |
