This study examined the social organization of a problem-solving task among 15 African American and 15 European American sibling pairs. The 30 sibling pairs between the ages of 6 and 12 were video recorded constructing a marble track together during a home visit. African American siblings were observed to collaborate more often than European American siblings who were more likely to divide up the labor and direct each other in constructing the marble track. In addition, older European American siblings made more proposals of step plans than older African American siblings. The findings provide insights into the cultural basis of the social organization of problem solving across African American and European American siblings.
本研究考察了 15 对非裔美国人和 15 对欧洲裔美国家庭兄弟姐妹在解决问题任务中的社会组织情况。这 30 对年龄在 6 至 12 岁之间的兄弟姐妹在一次家访中一起录制了制作弹珠轨道的视频。研究发现，非裔美国家庭的兄弟姐妹比欧洲裔美国家庭的兄弟姐妹更经常合作，而欧洲裔美国家庭的兄弟姐妹则更倾向于分工并相互指导制作弹珠轨道。此外，年长的欧洲裔美国家庭兄弟姐妹比年长的非裔美国家庭兄弟姐妹提出更多的步骤计划。这些发现深入了解了非裔美国家庭和欧洲裔美国家庭兄弟姐妹解决问题的社会组织的文化基础。
