Abstract
Socialization settings before and after the unification of Berlin were investigated in two cohorts for young children who entered the newly united elementary school system in 1992 or 1995 and/or 1996. Differences in East and West child-rearing and educational values in preschool, family, and school were partly compatible with hypotheses about individualistic and collectivist societies. The adults in all three settings were apprehensive of the rapid societal changes in the East more than in the West. Cohort changes, however, were more pronounced in the children's behavior than in that of the adults, were gender specific, and were more marked in the West rather than in the East Berlin children.
