In order to investigate the influence of socializing agents upon cognitive development in different cultural contexts, 140 mother-child pairs sampled from an urban population in Japan and a suburban population in California have been studied for four years since 1972. The relationships between maternal factors, such as mother's attitudes and opinions concerning the child-rearing practices, teaching styles, communication styles, mother-child interaction patterns, and child's cognitive performances such as the school-related skills, and IQ were examined for boys and girls separately, and sex differences were analysed concerning the cognitive socialization processes in two countries. Main results are as follows: Sex differences were recognized in cognitive socialization processes in Japan and the U.S. However, the pictures of sex-typing were different in the two countries. In Japan, the characteristics of cognitive socialization in boys were found more clearly than in girls, and much more maternal factors were recognized to be positively related to child's cognitive performances in the boys' group. On the other hand, in the U.S., the characteristics of cognitive socialization were found clearly in both sexes, but they were contrasted and clearly differentiated between the two sexes.
