| Popis: | Two studies examined differences in children's social immediacy tendencies expressed through interpersonal distance and touching. It was predicted that Mexican-Americans would space closer and touch more frequently than whites. Study 1 showed among 40 second graders that 20 Mexican-Americans did space significantly closer than 20 whites. Among 40 eighth graders the ethnic difference disappeared. Study 2 indicated among second graders that the greatest tactual behavior occurred for Mexican-American females (16 boys, 16 girls). Extensive measures were taken in Study 1 to avoid a number of confounds that characterized previous research. Results were discussed in terms of social learning and ethnic socialization. |
