In August 1959, a month-long camp was held in At this camp were some forty young people,16 - 21 years of age. These young people had all attended a

ol d children, they had participated in a month long camp where they met, played and lived.with other children of different nationalities. This camp was essentially a reunion camp where alumni of previous camps could come and renew old friendships.- As such, the reunion-group represented an unique collection of young people; a group of youths all of whom had had the experience of intimate-internationalco-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 important 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 définite-interest-in-international problems ?

2. Docs this experience stimulate a desireto understand viewpoints other than ones own?... n e

3. Does this experience foster friendships between youths of32 different nations?..

4. Does this experience stimulate motivation to work for peace?

5. Does this-experience enhance the communication skills and social skills of the youth?

6. Does this experience provide, tothe youth, information about different peoples?

To answer these questions, the youths at the reunion camp were given several different tests and questionnaires. These same tests and questionnaires were also given to a different group of youths essentially similar in background and nationality to the reunion group, but who had not attended a camp. The effects ofthe experience may then be judged by a comparison between the and non youth.

All data collection, with the exception of 10 American non, youth, has been completed.\_This includes: All questionnaires and tests from 43 youths at the camp; 4 nonyouths from 1 fromt 7 from and 10 from This is the current status of the research program. The next step will be to translate those questionnaires written in languages other than English-into English. Then the tests and questionnaires must be scored and these scores treated statistically. Finally, the conclusions will be drawn from the data-and a final report written and distributed. Included on the next page is a breakdown of the estimated time and cost requirements needed to complete the project.

WITHOUT A COMMON LANGUAGE

Even as it has been found useful in the last few years to view mental health and mental illness in terns of "communication" (Ruesch and Bateson, 1951), so in a series of special-studies conducted by with 1l-year-old boys and girls of different erstedt,Ake, 1958 A, countries 1958 B), it has been found fruitful to view international relations in terms of "communication'. The concept of "communication" is one \_which offers the possibility of analyzing relationships among any number and-kind of individual: or groups from acommon-base.

Camp for 11-year-olds of about 10 nation-"Communication"-in-a alities and from five to eight different languages has many aspects. These Il-year-olds who are-typically at an action age make close friendships without a common language. From this we know that attitudes,sentiments, and feelings are communicated without verbal transmission:

A pertinent.question is whether they transmit facts about each other. This was testeà in July. 1959, at the The camp children were divided into boy pairs and girl pairs who

did not understand one another's native language. They were seated across from each other-at small 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: "Some days ago we used an hour for interviewing each other an

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 of 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 help-in translations from a third person.

"Try to find out as much as possible about the other person.

"After the thirty-minutes we shall collect the papers and then the

other half of you will get 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 partner. Protocols in other:languages were translated into-English by the adult delegates who chaperoned the\_respective delegations to the Treatment of Datà

The data will-be analyzed to answer the following questions:

1. How.many information units (IU)regarding the interviewvee are collected by li-year-old interviewers from partners of the same-sex who do not speak the interviewer's language?

2. What is the content of ll-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? B

Grant-Proposal

The attached meporandum fromaregarding the points up a research potential which we have previousiy identified and which falls in the realm of Indirect Assessment (non-verbal communication)-which\_has\_been a long standing requirement and upon which we have made little impact.

The eurrent need for funds expressed by is modest yet is the first proposal that we bave had formally or informally which expresses an interest in a forn of non-verbal commnication that appears to have some utility for the Company.

It is srongly recommended that-a grant of \$1,500\_be made\_to for purposes of clessification of the non-verbal items of communication and for assembling and analyzing the data now possessed by her organization. Such a grant it is felt will objectively serve to foster an important humanitarian and international undertaking but at the sane time seive to support the need for cover. In addition, it will assist in the identification of promising yrung foreign nationals and U. S. nationals\_(many of whom are now in their latéteens) who may at any time be of direct interest to tha Company.

One proposal is an evaluation study by workers outside of the program: Dr. Assistant Professor, who spends a major portion of-his time aupervising research; and graduate student --neither of whom was acquainted wit before being asked to conceive and execute an evaluation study Mr. collected data last August at th. and control data in

Both studies already have major data in hand.  Both are ready, after short tasks of collecting subjects for treatment of data and writing of the reports for publication.

I look forward to hearing about your trip.
