Attitudes of Parents toward War Play in Young Children.

Costabile, Angela; And Others

Early Education and Development, v3 n4 p356-69 Oct 1992

A questionnaire on attitudes toward war play was given to 316 Italian and 84 English parents of children aged 2 to 6 years. In both cultures, boys were significantly more likely than girls to engage in solitary and social war play. Parental attitudes, television, and peers were the major sources of influence on war play.
