• catalog abstract "This data set is part of a larger cross-cultural study which explored the relation between patterns of child rearing and their impact on personality development both within and across cultures. The study was designed to determine the degree to which experiences in early childhood influence behavior, perceptions of the world, life-philosophies, religious beliefs, and codes of ethics in adulthood. A pair of investigators moved into a New England neighborhood to study a group of mothers to be used in the cross-cultural comparison. Using the same ethnographic methods applied by all the field teams stationed around the world, this study examined the child-training practices and the hypothesized individual and cultural differences in personality, especially in the areas of aggression, dependency, and the internalization of various mechanisms of behavior control. In order to provide an ethnographic perspective, a group of participants who were familiar (neighbors) with one another were observed. Twenty-four mothers were studied in relationship to one of their children, and each of the 24 children (ages 3 to 10) was observed and interviewed. Child observations were made in the various settings in which the child spent his/her time (e.g., breakfast at home, playing in the schoolyard), including situations that arose within these settings (such as insults or reprimands), and the child's responses to these situations (e.g., self-reliance, obedience, aggression, etc.). Parent interviews focused on care-taking behaviors (e.g., weaning and self-reliance training, nurturance, sociability, etc.). The children were also interviewed and administered TATs. The Murray center holds copies of the original observational records of the children, and the parent and child interviews for the twenty-four mothers and twenty-four children.".
