CAPTIVITY LORE AND BEHAVIOR IN CAPTIVITY

Abstract

Largely impressionistic observations from a number of documentary and interview studies of the subject of captivity suggest hypotheses concerning relationships between precapture exposure to cultural lore about captivity and behavior as a captive. The present discussion focuses on the prisoner of war, particularly on studies of survivors of captivity in Korea and China. The writer has also drawn upon information concerning other captivity statuses, however, including civilian internees and political and concentration-camp prisoners.
