DIFFERENCES in the living conditions and behavior of American and English children are explored here by means of methods which introduce some innovations into field studies of human behavior. The methods adapt a standard biological field procedure to behavior phenomena, they use a large behavior unit, they deal simultaneously with a number of behavior stream attributes, and they make use of a wide variety of primary data,
STRUCTURAL CHARACTERISTICS of the behavior streams of American and English children are investigated here using the same specimen record data that Barker and Barker used in their study of social actions (Chapter 7).
