Abstract
Excerpt: “A main theme of this chapter is that culture provides an important lens for understanding how aggression and violence are learned across and within specific contexts…To illustrate how cultural norms can account for variations in aggression and violence across different cultural groups, we begin by comparing cultural orientations and societal norms relevant to aggression and violence across three countries characterized by large difference in the rates of serious violence, namely, Jamaica, Japan, and the United States…Next we examine specific processes by which culture can influence children’s socioemotional socialization and development as they relate to the learning of aggression…Finally, we consider how a focus on culture in studies of children’s socialization for aggression can enhance future research and practice…we close with suggestions of new directions for culturally sensitive preventive interventions.” (p.283-284)
