Over- and Undercontrolled Clinic Referral Problems of Jamaican and American Children and Adolescents: The Culture General and the Culture Specific.
Lambert, Michael C.; And Others
Journal of Consulting and Clinical Psychology, v57 n4 p467-72 Aug 1989
Studied clinical referrals of two different societies (Jamaica, where Afro-British culture discourages child aggression, and United States, where uncontrolled child behavior appears more accepted) to determine influence of cultural factors in clinical referral patterns. Found significant difference in clinic-referred problems of American and Jamaican children (N=720). (Author/CM)
