To be able to contribute to the cross-cultural study of child-rearing practices and psychopa-thology, this study sought to examine the cross-national gcneralizability of parental rearing constructs by analydng self-report data on the EMBU, an instrument designed to assess memories of one's parents' rearing behavior. Of the four primary factors identified originally with Dutch individuals, namely Rejection, Emotional Warmth, Overprotection and Favoring Subject. The Fist three were replicated in a similar form in a Greek and a Spanish sample of normal research volunteers. Other propaties of the factors, thcir corresponding scales, and the items constituting the scales were such that it would be warranted to carry out mean scale level or pattern comparisons between subjects from the respective countries on the three constructs evidencing cross-national constancy. Scale-level factor analysis of these constructs produced identical two-factor compositions (CARE and PROTECTION) across the Greek, the Spanish and the Dutch samples which further supported this conclusion.
