The article presents the materials of the study carried out on a sample of dyads of parents and toddlers. The study involved 50 dyads from Russia (Moscow, Ekaterinburg) and Vietnam (NhaTrang) with children aged from 10 to 12 months (M=10.04; SD=0.45), 65% of which were female. All respondents from Vietnam communicated with children in Vietnam- ese with further transcription and translation of the text into Russian. The sample is balanced by the socio-economic status of the family, age, and gender. The scale of «Communicative Signals of the Child» was used to evaluate video observations, and the Bayley-III Develop- ment Scale — for studying the social and emotional development of the child. The observa- tions were encoded using the software «The Observer XT-15», mathematical data processing was carried out by applying of SPSS 26.0 statistical package. The study has revealed that the development of personal autonomy in Russian and Vietnamese culture is associated with a high level of exploratory activity of the child in the process of interaction with parents, giving him/her the opportunity to show interest in objects and toys. Thus, the level of the indicator «Sensitivity to the Adult» has an inverse correlation with the indicator «Interest to the Ob- ject» (r=-0.444 at p≤0.001 by Spearman) and «Object-Oriented Activity (r=-0.400 at p≤0.001 by Spearman).
