Animism and Related Tendencies in Hopi Children: A Replication of Dennis
The work of Wayne Dennis on animism in Hopi Indian children is replicated after 40 years. The results indicate that while little change has taken place in the Hopi child's attribution of life to inanimate objects, there is a substantial decrease in the attribution of consciousness to these same objects. An additional result is that the moral realism of the present day Hopi children has decreased markedly as compared with the original study
Cultural Patterns and the Social Behavior of Children: Two Studies from Papua New Guinea
Cooperative and Competitive Behavior: Experiments Related to Ethnic Identity and Urbanization in Papua New Guinea
The cooperative-competitive behavior of children in Papua New Guinea was assessed by two experimental techniques that have previously been used within other countries to demonstrate ethnic differences. The results of Experiments 1 and 2, in which the Madsen cooperation board was used, indicate significantly more cooperation between children of an intact tribe than between children in a heterogeneous urban setting. In Experiment 3, the marble-pull…
Between- and within-group cooperation and competition among kibbutz and nonkibbutz children
Mother-Directed Achievement of Children in Two Cultures
Mother-child pairs in a small Mexican town and in Los Angeles, California, were observed in two experimental situations in which the mother either controlled the rewards given to the child for success or failure or selected achievement goals for the child. The results of the first experiment were that mothers of both groups rewarded their children for success, but that Mexican mothers gave significantly more rewards for failure than did the Los A…
Experimental analyses of cooperation and competition of Anglo-American and Mexican children
Cooperation and competition of Mexican, Mexican-American, and Anglo-American children of two ages under four instructional sets
Developmental and Cross-Cultural Differences in the Cooperative and Competitive Behavior of Young Children
A two-person experimental task was developed for use in the study of age and cultural differences in the cooperative-competitive behavior of children in a small Mexican town and in California. The results indicate a higher level of cooperation among Mexican than among Anglo-American children and an increase in nonadaptive competition with age among the Anglo-American children
Cooperative and competitive behavior of urban Afro-American, Anglo-American, Mexican-American, and Mexican village children
Cooperation and competition in four-year-olds as a function of reward contingency and subculture
Cooperative and Competitive Motivation of Children in Three Mexican Sub-Cultures
Large samples of children in southern Mexico representative of the urban middle class, urban poor, and a rural Indian village participated in four experiments. These were designed to assess cooperative and competitive motivation under the following conditions: (1) simple altruism, (2) work output, (3) solution of a problem in which competition minimized individual reward, and (4) solution of a problem in which competition maximized individual rew…
Order of Retrieval of Information Simultaneously Presented to Ear and Finger
Pairs of letters of the alphabet were simultaneously presented to the ears and fingers of eight blind Braille readers. Order of retrieval following 0·5, 1·0 and 2·0 sec interpair intervals proceeded by modality of input. There was a greater, but not statistically significant, tendency for subjects to retrieve by order of input after a 4 sec interpair interval. The results are consistent with Broadbent's (1958) theory, but indicate a greater tende…
Distribution of Practice and Level of Intelligence
Ss of high, average, and low IQ, matched for age and sex, learned 10 paired associates under two levels of distribution of practice. The results indicated that distribution of practice differentially affected learning by the three groups. The results were discussed in relation to reactive inhibition and consolidation-perseveration theory
Effect of Electroconvulsive Shock (ECS) on Extinction of an Approach Response
Aversive effects of ECS were studied by comparing the effect of ECS on the extinction of a well developed approach response under two conditions. Rats pretrained to run a straight alley were given ECS immediately after (5 sec.), or 1 hr. after entering the goal box. No significant differences occurred until the fifth trial when the Immediate ECS group showed significantly longer approach latencies
