Developmental and Cross-Cultural Differences in the Cooperative and Competitive Behavior of Young Children

University of California, Los Angeles;Psychology Department, University of California, 405 Hilgard Avenue, Los Angeles, California 90024.

A two-person experimental task was developed for use in the study of age and cultural differences in the cooperative-competitive behavior of children in a small Mexican town and in California. The results indicate a higher level of cooperation among Mexican than among Anglo-American children and an increase in nonadaptive competition with age among the Anglo-American children.
