Describes a Stanley Milgram type obedience experiment conducted with 192 Jordanian children ages 6-16. Seventy-three percent of the children responded via administering supposed dangerous electrical shocks to test subjects. (SL)

Two studies of 6-7 year old children (one 12 subjects, one 36 subjects) were conducted to describe and relate the function of behaviors. Significant findings include a negative correlation between solo activities and teacher assessed ranking and a positive correlation between associative behavior and educational attainment. (SL)

Investigated was the relationship between language ability and aggression among 75 five-year old children. A significant negative correlation is postulated from observation of the subjects. (SL)

The general purpose of this study was to determine whether these expressed solutions have some useful application to the problems of disruption. Description was measured through a situational survey and a self-description form filled out…
