This study investigated the primary factors that encouraged cooperative behaviors in elementary and junior high school students by focusing on class group identity, students’ class pride, and the values that students respect. Participants were 277 fifth grade students and 248 third grade junior high school students. The results were as follows.(a) Class group identity stimulated cooperative behaviors, and the primary factors affecting this identity were pride and respect in both elementary and junior high school students.(b) Pride contributed to class group identity more than respect among elementary school students.(c) In comparison to elementary school students, respect had a greater impact on class group identity and cooperative behaviors among junior high school students.
