Abstract

Issues concerning aggressive behavior in children of four nonindustrial cultures are discussed. Belize, Nepal, Kenya and American Samoa were compared, and aggression among boys was more frequent than that among females, moreover, such behavior was more frequent in the patrilineal cultures. The presence of a parent tended to be associated with less aggression.
