Abstract

Reviews the theoretical and empirical literature relevant to cooperative behavior in children. An attempt is made to delineate theoretical veiwpoints, to discuss definitions of behavior, and to summarize research in terms of age, sex, cultural and subcultural variables, and social interaction. In addition, some factors influencing the learning of cooperation are discussed. Methodological problems and inconsistent findings that limit generalizations concerning the processes thought to relate to cooperative behavior in children are described.
