It's near midnight and I'm huddled with 15 strangers on a beach holding a tarp over our heads to stay out of the rain. Our guide points to a spot a few metres away and we throw off the tarp, hurrying closer. Suddenly no one cares they're getting drenched. This is Galibi Nature Reserve, one of only a handful of endangered sea turtle nesting sites worldwide. It's located in the former Dutch colony of Suriname, on South America's northeast coast. I've spent five months working as a volunteer with HIV/AIDS youth groups in the capital city, Paramaribo, and before I leave, my Surinamese friends tell me I must see Galibi. The place is a national treasure -- even people who've never been there extol its white sandy beaches and mammoth turtles in reverential tones.

Parents and their adolescent children tend to disagree about children's responsibilities in the family, particularly when it comes to caring for parents and household chores. We explored whether this disagreement is similar in three ethnic groups or whether it depends on ethnic background and acculturation.

The aim of this study was to examine similarities and differences in the pattern and extent of support among family members in five cultural groups in the Netherlands (Dutch mainstreamers, Turkish- , Moroccan-, Surinamese-, and Antillean-Dutch). Results revealed that the patterns of support were similar in all cultural groups: Provided support was larger than received support, parents provided and received more support than siblings, and emotional support was stronger than functional support. Using multigroup structural equation modeling, it was shown that the associations between family exchange, frequency of contact, and quality of relationship with parents and siblings were identical in all cultural groups. The cultural differences in mean scores were small for family exchange and qu...
