The value orientations of 118 8-and 9-year-old Canadian children from English (EC), French (FC), and Italian (IC) backgrounds were investigated relative to the constructs of self-image, ideal self, problem solving, and peer relations. Children were interviewed in their respective languages and their responses evaluated on 10 variables according to a system developed by the investigators. Individualistic and collectivistic value orientations for the EC and FC groups emerged as hypothesized for the self-image and ideal self constructs. ICs were more similar to ECs on these constructs. The significant interaction between sex and ethnicity on several variables underlying all constructs implies different standards of desirable behaviors for daughters and sons within the FC and IC groups. FC and IC parents seem to encourage idealized personal and social values in their daughters. FC girls displayed more interpersonal skills than FC boys, and IC boys demonstrated greater resourcefulness in problem solving. Results are discussed within the context of diminishing ethnic particularisms and distinctive gender-role socialization
