If most child psychology studies were done in western societies, would the theories found still apply to eastern cultures as well?

As in would principles on parenting, recommendations or guidelines, still apply despite the children being raised in vastly different societies?

Yes and no.  Some principles of child psychology hold up fairly well cross-culturally, and others do not.  Any idea that has only been studied in one cultural context should be treated with skepticism when applying it outside of that context.  Fortunately, there are many growing bodies of research that study psychological principles in children and families around the world.
