Presents research findings on the prevalence of childhood psychopathology in three age groups, in both genders. Boys reported more disorders than girls in the two younger age groups (grades 5 and 7), while the reverse was found in the oldest group (grade 9).

It is concluded that attentional capacity is independent of intelligence, and that critical changes in this capacity may occur between ages 8 and 9. (Authors)

The retesting of 88 adolescents on three measures of moral judgment after two years revealed significant developmental changes. Differences were found between younger and older groups and between college and noncollege subjects, but not between sexes. Comparisons with Kohlberg's test, construct validity, and analysis of developmental change are…

Studied the enjoyment and comprehension of riddles and nonriddles by first, third, and fifth grade normal children. Also investigated the relationship of sex to the enjoyment of humor. (SDH)

A study of recorded and analyzed inspection times in a picture recognition memory task involving three different delays between inspection and test. Subjects were 108 4-, 6-, and 8-year-old children. (Author/SDH)

Attempted to clarify the relationship between dependency and imitation using 73 preschool children as subjects. The children's degree of emotional dependency was found to be related to their propensity to imitate the model's irrelevant behavior (i.e. incidential learning). (Author/SDH)

While father absence due to divorce, desertion, or separation had the most negative influence in the initial 2 years of the child's life for boys and girls, father absence due to death was the most detrimental when it occurred in the 6 - 9 period of the boy's life. (Author)

Forty-four middle and 44 lower SES children were given Piaget's provoked and spontaneous correspondence tests to see: (1) how they made correspondence, (2) if the idea of equivalent sets, once achieved, was retained after objects were regrouped destroying visible equivalence, and (3) if age, sex, and SES differences existed. Results indicated that…

Study deals with a comparative developmental analysis of performances on the same task by four age groups. (MB)

This study was designed to test two major hypotheses: (1) Validity of expectation is an increasing monotonic function of development. (2) Invalidity of expectation is more a function of overestimation of hedonistic tendencies than a function of underestimation. A total of 277 middle class children in the first, fourth, and fifth grades were given…

Takes issue with Lawrence Walker's literature review on developmental and individual differences in moral reasoning which found no consistent evidence for sex differences in moral development. Argues instead that the source and specific nature of these differences have yet to be established. (HOD)

It was concluded that previous explanations of visual exploration or stimulus preference have been oversimplified, and studies on the whole have failed to take into account a crucial interaction between sex and age variables. (Authors)
