- The reference I believe you want is:
-
- Kagan, S., and Madsen, M.C. Cooperation and Competition of Mexican,
- Mexican-American, and Anglo-American children of two ages under four
- instruction sets. Developmental Psychology, 1971, vol. 5, 32-39.
-
- G.P. Knight, Charles McClintock, and Evie McClintock have all done more
- recent studies on cross-cultural development of fairness rules. Let me
- know if you need some more cites.
