Extending the cross-national invariance of the parental warmth and rejection dimensions: Evidence from Arab countries, Croatia, and Turkey by applying the short-EMBU.

Whether the warmth and rejection dimensions of parenting represent universal entities should be empirically examined rather than assumed. Previous studies carried out in Australia, Germany, Greece, Guatemala, Hungary, Italy, Spain, Sweden, and Venezuela have shown that the lower-order dimensions of Emotional warmth, Rejection, and Protection-control are cross-nationally stable/invariant. Using the short 23-item version of the EMBU (s-EMBU), the present study attempts to extend these findings to three non-Western countries/regions, namely Arab countries (Egypt, Lebanon, and Syria), Croatia, and Turkey. The data are presented for separate student samples from the respective countries/regions. The s-EMBU dimensions of Emotional warmth, Rejection, and Protection-control are also correlated with two major Eysenckian dimensions of personality (Neuroticism and Extraversion) and with gender roles (Bem’ s Masculinity and Femininity) in order to study if evidence can be obtained of their construct validity.
