“…Rosman (197's), and they also included small studies (N36), over intervals as long as 20 years, such as those of Kagan and Moss (1962). Olweus concluded that the degree of stability found in the area of aggression was substantial -not much lower than that tound in the field of intelligence testing.…”

This study examined the efficacy of training paz'ents in skills of child management. The parents had all sought help in coping with their pre-sohool children, and under. stood that training would be based upon social learning! behavioural principles.A pilot study, which compared the progress of five children visited at home and six whose parents were in weekly telephone contact with the author, gave encouraging results. Thirty seven children, six girls and thirty one boys, were then randomly allocated to one of four methods of training: group, home visit, telephone or waiting list! delayed intervention control. Participants in the three active intervention conditions were assessed pre-and postintervention. Participants in the waiting list/delayed intervention condition were assessed before and after an eight-weeks waiting period; they were then randomly reallocated to one of the three active intervention methods. Seven children were lost during the study, leaving thirty.Results indicated clinical improvement for all three active intervention conditions compared to the waiting list control condition. There were no significant differences between any of the three active intervention methods, either at post-intervention or at twelve to eighteen months follow-up. The results are discussed in terms of their theoretical and practical implications.iii CONTENTS

“…This sex difference is generally consistent with research suggesting that female children tend to be more conforming and compliant than young males (e.g ., Kagan & Moss, 1962;Mischel, 1970). Though we have suggested an effect that could operate in habituation studies of preschool children the exact nature of the effect requires further examination.…”

This research reports the results of an investigation of the effects of antecedent instruction on the subsequent habituation of preschool children to visual patterns. Twenty preschool children were divided into two groups of 5 males and 5 females in each group. The experimental group was instructed, "we are going to playa game with you. Please stay in your seat and look at the pictures." The control group was given the same instruction without the phrase, "look at the pictures." Subsequently, each subject was given nine 30-sec presentations of a pattern with an intertrial interval of between 7 and 12 sec and one 30-sec recovery trial of a second pattern. The results demonstrated a clear overall habituation and recovery effect. In addition, there was a significant interaction with females showing greater total mean fixation time than males in the experimental group.

“…The best answer I could give you would be from the big longitufdna studies. One a study was done at the Fels Institute In Ohio, in which a fairly large group of kids was followed from birth (Kagan & Moss, 1962). Now these kids are 4J years old, or something like that, so we can go back through the history of their childhoods.…”
