Abstract

Early social interactions of Israeli kibbutz and urban preschool children were observed in free play settings. Kibbutz preschoolers displayed some aspects of more advanced group functioning (e.g., coordinated play) but also more behaviors reflecting affective distancing (e.g., solitary play, reduced affective expression, verbal aggression). These behaviors parallel and may precurse social interaction patterns of adolescents and adults in the kibbutz.
