Patterns of Cultural Transmission: Soviet and American Children in a New Environment.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Horowitz, Ruth Tamar; Kraus, Vered – Journal of Cross-Cultural Psychology, 1984
Discusses differences in the way immigrant students (Grade 8) from the Soviet Union and North America adjust to the Israeli educational system. Reports that North American students are peer group-oriented (like Israeli students), whereas Soviet students are adult-oriented, and thus more likely to experience congnitive dissonance. (KH)
