Abstract: In a follow-up of an earlier study comparing the extreme response tendencies of college students, a similar study was done of 12-year old children of these two cultural groups. The Japanese children of both sexes were found to make significantly fewer extreme (E) responses and significantly more intermediate (I) responses than the American children, as hypothesized. Comparisons between Japanese children and Japanese college students revealed no significant differences. However, similar comparisons between American children and American college students found the children making significantly more E responses and significantly fewer I responses. These findings were thought to support inferences about differential child-rearing practices in the two cultural groups and their effects on the development of restraint.
