Childhood Rivalry in Bali and New Guinea (1952)
Overview
This short ethnographic film presents comparative scenes of children of the same age in Bali and New Guinea responding to maternal attention given to another child. Produced as part of Gregory Bateson and Margaret Mead’s Character Formation in Different Cultures series, the film documents culturally distinct approaches to sibling rivalry through observational sequences involving infant care, ritual ear-piercing, and experimental interaction with a doll.
