I'm an American, with no international kid raising experience. But I'd say that declaring that "All Americans are raised spoiled" is an overly broad/general. America is an ENORMOUS country. These studies seem to focus on the Urban/large metropolitan suburban families. I'd wager that the rate of spoiledness varies vastly when geographic or economic conditions are examined. Whitey McMoney from the Upper East Side is going to be raised quite a bit different from the poor black kids in Queens. Both will be way way off the mark from where a midwestern farm kid will be. Overall, what I'm trying to say is, I think the research behind this article has too small of a sample size.
