ResumoMILLER, ANTHONY G., and THOMAS, RON. Cooperation and Competition among Blackfoot Indian and Urban Canadian Children. CHILD DEVELOPMENT, 1972, 43, 1104-1110. Blackfoot Indian and urban Canadian children played a game requiring cooperation under 2 reward conditions. Under a group reward condition children from both cultural backgrounds cooperated effectively. Later, when the children were rewarded individually, the Blackfoot children continued to cooperate even more effectively than under the group reward situation, while the urban group showed competitive behavior which grossly impaired their performance. In a second game which placed a premium on the inhibition of competitive responses for effective play, similar, although less striking, differences were found.
