Mother-toddler dyads in two types of new immigrant families, including mothers from Mainland China and Southeastern Asia, were compared with dyads from the local families. Fifty-one dyads in total were measured when toddlers at 16 and 22-months old. In a typical free play session, the frequencies of maternal parenting behaviors such as praising the child, repetition of children's verbal responses, questioning, naming objects, and physical interruption were videotaped and coded. In addition, the eye gazes between mothers and their toddlers and their joint-attentional behaviors were also measured. The covariate analysis was conducted to control family SES and the mother's age. Results found a main effect of mothers' naming objects behaviors were less in mothers from Mainland China and Southeastern than those of local mothers. The significant interaction effect and its follow-up analysis suggested that at 16 months, less naming objects were found in those mothers from Mainland China and Southeastern Asia than those local mothers. Mothers from Southeastern Asia were likely to physically interrupt their children than their local mother counterparts. Furthermore, the mother-toddler joint-attentional behaviors of mothers from Mainland China and Southeastern Asia were both less than those with Taiwanese mothers.
