DTSTART:20240213T110000Z DTEND:20240213T120000Z UID:TALK212203@talks.cam.ac.uk CONTACT:Louise Gray DESCRIPTION:Starting in 2016\, the Chinese central government officially e nded the one-child policy\, which allowed parents across China to now have two children. In May 2021\, the government further relaxed its population policy allowing couples to have up to three children. Although these poli cy changes were based more on considerations of social and economic develo pment than concerns about children’s development and family functioning\ , these policies have important implications for both Chinese parents and their children. Very little practical information is available for those p arents to help them adapt to the new family challenges. \n\nOur recent res earch has begun to bridge that gap by showing how Chinese parents adaptive ly or maladaptively respond to the family changes with the arrival of the second child. In this talk\, I will discuss three research questions. Firs t\, how do Chinese parents raise two children within a family? Second\, ho w do Chinese firstborn children adapt to the transition to siblinghood? Th ird\, how do sibling relationships influence Chinese children’s socioemo tional development? I will show series of studies to (partly if not comple tely) answer these three questions. In doing so\, I hope to demonstrate th at the relaxations in the population policy in China might influence paren ting behaviours and child adjustment. \n\nThe talk will be followed by a s hort Q&A.\n\nBin-Bin Chen is Professor and Chair of the Department of Psyc hology at Fudan University\, China.
