| Abstract: | This study investigates 727 parents from China, Japan, and Korea by a self-devised scale and compares the differences in their
expectation of early childhood education in cross-cultural backgrounds. The result shows that parents from the three countries
have a positive attitude toward their children's development. The main effect of nations on such factors as individual development,
close attention to diet, willpower training, moral judgment, and emotional exchange with adults is significant, while the
two-way interaction between nations and child gender, nations and child age, and the three-way interaction between nations,
child gender, and child age are not significant.
