A systematic comparison of child-rearing practices and problems in the Philippines and the United States using the landmark study by Sears, Maccoby, and Levin as a "control." The local data was derived from interviews with 279 Filipino mothers. The authors use theories of personality development to point out and explain the problems of growing up in a non-Western culture.

George M. Guthrie was a Fulbright professor in Manila in 1959–60. In 1961–62 both authors helped train the first Peace Corps volunteers in the Philippines.

Pepita J. Jacobs has studied at The Pennsylvania State University and the University of Michigan and is teaching at Marygrove College.
