Abstract
The Revised Class Play (RCP), a procedure designed to assess peer evaluations, was administered to 1445 second-through seventh-grade children in Israel. Recent studies, using North American samples, revealed three reliable dimensions: Sociability-Leadership; Aggressive-Disruptive; and Sensitive-Isolated. The goal of the present study was to see whether the same three dimensions were evident when the RCP was used in Israel. The principal-components analyses revealed interesting degrees of cross-cultural convergence and divergence. The results are discussed in the context of other research on Israeli values.Keywords
