Chen et al., 2000b; P. Wu et al., 2002).”
Mainland Chinese parenting styles and parent–child interaction (2005, background): “Similarly, P. Wu et al. (2002) found that aspects of traditional Chinese parenting practice, such as being directive and using shame/withdrawal of love, were correlated with both authoritative and authoritarian parenting styles in Mainland Chinese mothers.”

(2005, background): “…been suggested that various components of psychological control, such as love withdrawal (Ho, 1986), shaming procedures, and threats of abandonment (Wu et al., 2002), are more frequently used in Eastern societies and that they are better accepted as a means of regulating Chinese adolescents’…”
Parenting Style as a Context for Emotion Socialization (2009, methodology): “The PBQ was adopted because it was developed specifically for the self-report of parents of young children, which was the purpose of the present study.”
Differences in Perceived Parenting Style Between Mothers and Fathers: Implications for Child Outcomes and Marital Conflict (2016, background): “The PSDQ has been praised as one of a few instruments available that are psychometrically sound for assessing parenting style (Locke and Prinz 2002; Olivari et al. 2013), and has been used in multiple cultural settings (Daglar et al. 2011; Wu et al. 2002).”
Children's sociable and aggressive behaviour with peers: A comparison of the US and Australia, and contributions of temperament and parenting styles (2003, background): “The dimensions were connection, regulation, and autonomy granting from the authoritative style and physical coercion, verbal hostility, and nonreasoning/ punitive from the authoritarian style (see Hart, Newell, & Olsen, in press; Wu et al., 2002).”

Pathways of influence: Chinese parents' expectations, parenting styles, and child social competence (2015, unknown): “Although the PSDQ has been widely used among Chinese parents from big urban cities (Chen et al., 1997; Wu et al., 2002; Zhou et al., 2004), it has rarely been used among parents from small cities in China.”
Applicability of Baumrind's parent typology to collective cultures: Analysis of cultural explanations of parent socialization effects (2005, background): “Furthermore, Wu et al. (2002), in addition to finding commonalities between US and Chinese samples in the basic structure of authoritarian and authoritative parenting, also found that parenting constructs thought to be emphasized in Chinese culture—such as encouragement of modesty, sharing,…”
Autonomy- vs. connectedness-oriented parenting behaviours in Chinese and Canadian mothers (2005, background): “For the most part, these researchers have relied on Baumrind’s framework for the conceptualization and categorization of socialization practices (e.g., authoritative, authoritarian, and permissive styles; Chao, 1994; Chen et al., 1998; Dornbusch, Ritter, Leiderman, Roberts, & Fraleigh, 1987; Wu et a”
Correspondence between maternal and paternal parenting styles in early childhood. (2005, methodology): “…been adapted now for effective use in multiple cultural settings, including Russia (Hart, Nelson, Robinson, Olson, & NcNeilly-Choque, 1998), China (Wu et al., 2002) and African-American Head Start communities (Coolahan, McWayne, Fantuzzo, & Grim, 2002), most investigators have only used the…”
