Cross-Cultural Differences in Social Interaction: A Comparison of American and Indonesian Children.

Farver, Jo Ann M.; Howes, Carollee

Journal of Cross-Cultural Psychology, v19 n2 p203-15 Jun 1988

Samples of 36 Indonesian and 36 American children were observed. Indonesian children tended to play in mixed age groups. Children in both cultures tended to interact in same-sex groups. Research supported Hartup's hypothesized symmetrical-asymmetrical nature of same- and mixed-age social interaction. (Author/BJV)
