Self, Family, and Community: A Cross-Cultural Comparison of American and Israeli Youth

Becker, Tamar

Youth and Society, 8, 1, 45-66, Sep 76

A survey of attitudes of upper middle class American and Israeli youth reveals pronounced differences. Whereas the Israelis tend to view their society as an extension of their own family and acknowledge their obligations to both, the Americans trust only the family, regarding it as more important than any other social entity.
