FROM
EVALUATION STUDY
In August 1959, a monthlong camp was held
At this camp were some forty young people, 16 - 11 years of age. These
young people had all attended
camp when they were eleven years old. That is, as eleven year -
old children, they had participated in a month long camp where they met,
played and lived with other children of diff-rent nationalities. This
camp was essentially areunion camp where alumni of ptevious camps could
come and renew old friendship S. As suchth reunion-group represented an
unique collection of young people; a group of youths all of_whorn had had the
experience of intimate international�co-living while�at the impressionable age_
of eleven.
This camp then, presented a particularly good opportunity to study
the effects of such experiences and to investigate factors irnportant_in such
things as international dynamics, attitude development, and world mindedness.
Therefore, sponsored at this camp a research prcgram designed to
investigate the effects of an international co-living experience as eleven year
olds on the interests, attitudes and motives of 16----21 year old youths. To do
this, the research program was specifically aimed at answering these
questions:
1. Does this experience stimulate a de inite interee, in in ernational
problems?
2. Does this experience stimulate a desire to understand viewpoints
other than ones own
3. Does thi xperience foster friendships between youths of
different nations?
4. Does this experience stimulate motivation to work for peace?
5. Does this-experience enhance-the communication skills and
social_skills lot the youth?
6. Does this experience provide, to the youth, information about
different peoples?
To answer these questions, the youths at the reunion_carnp were given
several different tests and questionnaires7,�These same tests and question-
naires were also given-to a-different group of youths essentially Similar
background and nationality to the reunion group, but who had not attended a
camp. The efkcts_ofthe
experience may then_bejudged by _a
comparison between the and non youth.
All data colletioni with the exception of 10 American non
outh,
has been completed. Thit includes: All questionnaires andAests from 43
camp; 4 non youths from
and 10 from This is the current status of the research
program. The next step will b--to translate those questionnaires ritten in
languages other than_ English-into English. Then the tests and questionnaires
must be scored and these scores treated statistically. Filially, the conclusions
will be drawn from the data and a final report written�and distributed.
Included on the next Inge is a breakdown of the estimated time and - �
cost requirements needed to complete the project.

COMMUNICATION IN 11 YEAR-OLD-CHILDREN
W1THOUT-A-COMMON LANGUAGE
Even as it has been found useful in the last few years to view mental
health and mental illness iriterms of "communication" (Ruesch and Bate son,
1951), so in. a series_of pecial-studies conducted bl
with 11-year-old boys and girls ofdifferent
1958 B), it has been found fruitful to view international relations in. terms-of
"communication'', Th-eit,ncept of "communication." is one which-offers the-
possibility of analyring-relationships among any number and kind of individuals
or groups from a cornmon base.
"Communication" i
nip for 11-year-olds of about 10 nation-
alities and from five to-tight different languages has many_a_s_pects. These -
11-year-olds who re typically at an action age make close friendships without
a common language. .1 rom-this we know that -attitudea,.sentiments, and
feelings are communicated without verbal transmission
. A pertinent question-is whether they transmit facts_about each other.
This was tested_in. July. 1959, at the
The camp children were divided into boy pairs and-girl pair
did not understand one anoth-er's native language. They were seated across
from each other-at_sraall tables, one pair at each. The experiment was
conducted twice with an interval of six days. The task was the same for
both interviews, The directions given at_the second interviewing follow.
s who
"Some days ago we used an hour for interviewing each other and
we think you did it very well and that perhaps you would like to do it once more .
/73
I am sure you will, but this time you will get a new partner, and again one who
does not speak your language.
"As the first time, half of you will get a piece 9f paper where your
names are written'on the top of the page
"The interviewing goes on for thirty minutes, and you may use
anything you want to illustrate what you are asking for and you don't need to sit
in your places -- but you may not ask for any translations from a third
person.
"Try to find out as-much as possible about the other per on
"After the thirty minutes we shall collect the papers and then the
other half of you wilLget a piece of paper where your names are written at the
top. You too will be allowed thirty minutes to interview your partner."
Each interviewer recorded the answers that he obtained from his .
Protocols in other lang-uages-were translated into English by the adult delegates
who chaperoned the respective delegations to the
Treatment of Data
The data. will be analyzed to answer the following questions:
1. How many information units (IU)-r-egarding the interviewee .are
collected by 11-year-old interviewers from partners of the
same sex who do-n-ot-s-pea.k-the interviewer's language?
Z. What is the content of 11 -year-old interviewees' responses to
11-year-old interviewers who do not speak the same language?
3. How do number and content of information units of the first
session compare with those of the second interviewing session
held six days later?

A coding guide has been prepared for the identification of information
units. Work directions have been formulated for the identification oS information
units, and for categorizing, ingcoding and tabulating these on multigraphed summary
sheets -- one sheet per individual interviewer per interviewing session.
Control Sample
A control groupz_matched for age, sex education .and for outstanding
qualities in interpersonal relations will be composed of United States boys and
girls -- who thus wilLspeak the sams-langusge This-is not as ideal control
group, since it is composed of only one nationality A-composite control group
composed of children from many nationalities can be obtained_r-later studies
when funds are available for this more ambitious Undertaking.
