A program based on a lecture by R.L. Birdwhistell to the American Anthropological Association, demonstrating the context control method for comparative analysis of cross-cultural situations. Short film excerpts illustrate the interaction of members of families with each other and with animals in zoos in England, France, Italy, Hong Kong, India, Japan, and the United States. An epilogue illustrates observer and, particularly, cameraman biases in recording interactional data. Produced by the
Eastern Pennsylvania Psychiatric Institute. R.L. Birdwhistell and J.D. Van Vlack.
