Manifest Anxiety in Mexican, Japanese, Israeli and American Children.
Mebane, Donata F.; And Others
Gotts' hypothesis that manifest anxiety in children is related to societal restrictions was examined by comparing the Children's Manifest Anxiety Scale results of Mexican boys and girls with previously published results of American, Israeli, and Japanese children. The Mexican sample was selected to represent a high sex-role differentiation society for comparison with less differentiated societies. Support was found for Gotts' hypothesis. The importance of including more than one age group was also demonstrated. (Author)
