Competitive and Cooperative Attitudes: A Longitudinal Survey of Japanese Adolescents.

Shwalb, David W.; And Others

Journal of Early Adolescence, v15 n1 p145-68 Feb 1995

Nearly 700 junior and senior high school students in Japan were asked to rate 24 cooperative and competitive behaviors in terms of personal importance during 3 consecutive academic years. Factor analysis of the ratings revealed one general cooperation factor and three competition factors (nonacademic, academic, and group centered). The results are discussed in terms of societal values. (MDM)
