Recent conflict resolution researchers have been concerned about the validity of experimental games in their abstract form. Madsen's Cooperation Board seems to be an ideal instrument for the study of cooperation and conflict resolution with children, since it provides the subjects with a concrete situation and thus escapes the criticisms made of abstract games. Shapira and Madsen have found that city children cooperate less than rural ones. Wichman has found that complete communication furthered cooperation at least within the context of a Prisoner's Dilemma. The present researchers have tried to corroborate these findings within a different sociocultural context. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
