Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The norms for adult interaction often shape the way children are raised to interact with each other. If adults in a family, community, or society are more cooperative, children are more likely to be raised to be cooperative with each other. Conversely, if adults are more competitive, children may be raised to be more competitive with each other. Personalities and family socioeconomic status may also influence this, but they are not the primary determining factor. Future job prospects are unlikely to be a major factor in how children are socialized to interact with each other.
