Journal of Experimental Social Psychology
An experiment on the role of the language of instruction in mediating responses to social pressure was conducted with a sample of 41 Russian-born adolescents who had recently immigrated to Israel. The subjects were asked to respond to a series of conflict situations in which they were told that either the experimenters, their own parents, or their peers would see their answers. Instructions were given once in Russian and once in Hebrew. Contrary to the principal hypothesis, when subjected to pressure from adults the children gave more conventional moral responses under Hebrew than under Russian instructions. The result was interpreted as reflecting the tendency to respond more moralistically to the language of authority, which, for the emigréchildren, shifted from Russian to Hebrew. Regardless of the language of administration, the scores for the emigréchildren fell between those for Soviet and Israeli youngsters, but they were closer to the latter. Within the sample, the longer a child lived in one or the other society, the more his response to social pressure resembled the modal reaction of children in that society. Children from families who had or had not spoken Yiddish in the home showed marked differences in response, with the former resembling the Israeli and the latter the typical Soviet reaction. The results were interpreted as reflecting the capacity of children to adapt to conflicting socialization settings both within and across cultures.

Investigated reaction to social pressure among 400 Israeli and 353 Soviet 12 yr olds brought up in family vs collective settings (kibbutz in Israel, boarding school in the USSR). Soviet Ss showed higher levels of conformity than their Israeli age-mates. Cultural differences, sex differences, and effect of threatened social exposure were greater for Ss raised in collective settings than for those brought up in their own homes. Kibbutz-reared Ss did not react in the same way as products of Soviet group upbringing. Israeli Ss generally did resemble Soviet age mates in reacting similarly to pressure from peers vs adults, but they differed sharply from their Soviet counterparts, as well as from children from 10 other countries, in giving their most moral responses when neither their parents nor their friends would know of their action.

Child Development
About 600 Israeli preadolescents, half from 29 kibbutzim and half from 9 classrooms in the city of Tel Aviv, were asked to describe the frequency of certain socializing behaviors of their mothers, fathers, teachers, peers, and, in the kibbutz, care givers as well. Kibbutz and city parents were seen as equally supportive, but the latter were much more salient as disciplinarians. Even more striking was the finding that the role of the kibbutz teacher more closely resembled that of the parent, particularly as a provider of emotional security. Contrary to expectations, neither the peer group nor the metapelet emerged as supportive figures, but both were salient as agents of discipline and disapproval. The implications of these patterns for personality development are discussed.
... In particular, paternal monitoring may have important implications for adolescent aggression (Lamb & Lewis, 2004). Though fathers are less involved in adolescents, they are generally more strict and punitive to their adolescents than mothers (Devereux et al., 1974). When fathers have monitoring behavior, such as setting up family rules, adolescents expect more consequences. ...

... Нельзя не упомянуть серию известных кросс-культурных исследований, инициированных У. Бронфенбреннером, в которых изучались реакции на социальное давление у школьников разных стран, включая СССР, США, Израиль, Великобританию и др. (Bronfenbrenner, 1967(Bronfenbrenner, , 1970a(Bronfenbrenner, , 1970bShouval et al., 1975). Основным инструментом служил тест моральных дилемм, а давление осуществлялось путем сообщения, что результаты будут показаны учителям и другим взрослым (adult condition) или сверстникам (peer condition). ...
