Compared with U.S. youths, adolescents in Japan and China spend less time with peers, and their parents' values play a more prominent role (Chen, Chung et al., 2011; Rothbaum, Pott, et al., 2000). Latino children, similarly, are more family oriented and less influenced by peers (DeRosier & Kupersmidt, 1991). Their parents often directly discourage peer interactions (Ladd, 2005; Schneider, 2000). Even styles of relating to peers vary across cultures.

Children in China, India, and Korea are more cooperative and compliant with their peers than are children in Canada and the United States (Farver et al., 1995). In one study, for example, researchers found that 85 percent of Chinese 5-year-olds' interactions with peers were cooperative and considerate; whereas 78 percent of Canadian children's interactions involved conflicts from simple disagreements to aggres sive attacks (Orlick et al., 1990).
