Carolyn Pope Edwards (2002) reanalyzed data from a classic study that studied play behavior in six different cultures. List as many of these cultures as you can. Outline some of the major findings from this study. Finally, based on this study, comment upon the universality of play behavior in children and subsequent public policy
What will be an ideal response?
Kenya, Mexico, Philippines, Japan, India, small-town U.S. Play showed variability across the cultures: games with rules were more prevalent in U.S., India, Japan, and the Philippines. Gender segregation was common across all cultures, boys reduced contact with mothers and roamed further from home. Children from all cultures showed expressions of play, and those who engaged in subsistence or child care activities, incorporated play in them when they could. This supports the universality of the need for play and the need for the United Nations to incorporate a declaration of the child's right to play into the Rights of the Child document.
