Conflict-resolution Of Sundanese And Chinese Children In Bandung, Indonesia

This study was aimed to describe the conflict-resolution-pattern of children from two subcultures in Indonesia, and its relationship with the mother’s value orientation toward social relation. Subjects were 40 Sundanese children, 40 Chinese children, male and female, 9-12 year old, with their mothers. Their recent conflict experiences of children and its resolution were gathered by using self-report through an interview. The individualism-collectivism tendency of mother’s values was concluded from their reactions to the hypothetical situations in vignettes. Results indicated a similar tendency from both subcultures, both for the conflict-resolution-pattern of children and its relationship with the mother’s value orientation.
