Abstract
As children habitually interact among themselves they create and maintain what has been called a peer culture. This phenomenon clearly points to the society-instituting quality of early peer relations described in the preceding chapter. Society and culture coexist; even the beginnings of societal relations in early childhood very quickly can lead to the emergence of a child culture. The following study by Kane clarifies this concept and explores in detail how over a time span of 8 months a particular peer culture emerged and changed.
