Abstract
The aim of this study was to test a model predicting parental mediation strategies from cultural dimensions and family communication patterns (FCP). Parents from India (n=57) and the United States (n=56) completed a survey for this study. It was proposed that cultural dimensions of individualism-collectivism, power distance and self-construal are related to family communication patterns. Also it was hypothesized that the effect of family communication patterns on various parental mediation strategies would be moderated by perceived risk of media exposure (PRME). The broad goal of the study was to establish FCPs as the mediators between cultural dimensions and parental mediation strategies. Results supported the association between cultural dimensions and family communication patterns. Also it was found that socio oriented parents with high PRME tend to use restrictive mediation. Concept orientation mediated the effect of individualism on active mediation and the effect of independent self-construal on active mediation.
