Effects of Adult-Directed Activity, Number of Toys, and Sex of Child on Social and Exploratory Behavior in Young Children.

Vlietstra, Alice G.

Merrill-Palmer Quarterly, v26 n3 p231-38 Jul 1980

The amount of adult direction was experimentally manipulated, and its effects on social and exploratory behaviors were examined. Children from preschools with varying levels of adult-directed activity were included in the study to assess parallels in the effect of adult direction in experimental and naturally occurring school situations.
