“…A few general sources can be cited, such as Meltzer (113) on the development of social concepts; Busemann (102) on the excitation phases, with comments on the literature; Shuttleworth (123) and Jones and Jones (109), noting new trends; and the selected references listed in the twentyeighth yearbook (115,116). From the many books on mental hygiene, the following are selected for their documentation.…”

The following selection of bibliographical material on the various phases of child study is undertaken to indicate major trends and to synthesize the better material with a minimum of repetition and with a maximum of efficiency and availability. It is qualitative only. (Elaborate quantitative analyses of subject-matter are suggested by the study of physical development by Scammon,196.) Research begins much later than 1658, when Comenius published the first picture-book for children. Mateer (73) excellently summarizes the pioneer studies of Preyer, Lobisch, Tain, Perez, Sigismund, Tiedemann, Vierordt, etc. In America, from 1880 to this day, the tremendous and enthusiastic inspiration of G. Stanley Hall stands out. So great was his influence that only within the last ten years have new and independent methods of research flourished. Thomas and Thomas (96) show some of these later techniques and the changes in trend and problems to be faced. (The slowness of progress is reflected by the fact that not until 1900 was the first Juvenile Court set up-in Chicago.) The world war made possible wholesale measurement of " intelligence " in the army camps; the results are only now being adequately weighed and understood. Present studies are being more carefully thought out and are being carried on by groups having better provisions for intensive study and greater facility in securing adequate numbers of children with which to work. The majority of such groups are connected with large universities having adequate organization and operating modern nursery schools. 1 The general trend of subject matter has been quite definitely from the applied science of pedagogy to the pure science of psychological and sociological research, and from studies of a single child to the analysis of the behavior of children in large numbers and in groups.1 For details of Child Development Research Centers and their work see the July, 1930, issue of Child Study.

This review presents a summary of the significant investigations in child psychology during the past five years from the experimental and theoretical aspects; a majority of the references relate to experimental procedures.A review of the literature on the subject for 1921 and 1922 was published in the BULLETIN in 1923 (19). Scientific interest in the psychology of the child as reflected through literature has grown rapidly with the differentiation into many specific fields and a marked change from questionnaire, observational, and group studies toward clinical, experimental, and personality studies. While the number of articles on mental tests has not diminished, there has been a marked growth in the number of experimental studies dealing with the psychological analysis of the test situations as well as increased emphasis on child behavior and mental hygiene. With the increase in the number of publications, it has become both desirable and necessary to limit this summary to strictly psychological studies instead of including psychoeducational and psychosociological investigations. A total of 539 references are cited; these include references to special bibliographies.

“…This method, which is rapidly gaining a foothold, especially in preschool groups, interested in studying the social development of children, involves a natural play situation for the toddlers and one or more observers, usually screened (as in the Yale, Toronto, and T. C. Institute of Child Welfare groups) in such a way that they can clearly watch the spontaneous activities of the child, but yet remain unseen by him. Reviews and accounts of this procedure can be obtained in the articles by H. E. and M. C. Jones (70), Shuttleworth (147), and the Proceedings of the First International Congress of Mental Hygiene (134). D. S. Thomas, et al (160) who refer to their method as "experimental sociology" have studied such factors as talkativeness, laughter, social resistance.…”

Human beings have made observations on human nature since the beginning of time. The Bible, especially the book of Proverbs, is replete with shrewd analytical remarks on the conduct and character of man. The ancients under Aristotle, Theophrastus, Hippocrates, Galen, and others, have left records of their peculiar interest. Galen, in particular, is responsible for the development of the theory of "humours" into its four-fold classification of temperament: Melancholic, phlegmatic, choleric, sanguine. This theory influenced thinking for centuries, was finally discarded, and only of late seems to be coming back through another door in the recent efforts to show how glands regulate personality (15, 16). For a summary of the endocrine movement in general see Lipschutz. ( 97)In 1808 appeared the beginnings of the phrenological school, which tried to link personality traits with cranial protuberances, a theory based on a "faculty" psychology and a belief in the "localization of brain functions." This school, sponsored by Gall and Spurzheim, together with the advance of physiognomy, supported by Lavater, was launched as a science on a naive world, and so great an influence did it exert, at least as a pseudo-science, that even today its popular strength is not greatly shaken. At present, and springing more directly from the clinical findings of Kraepelin, as to forms of mental disease, modern German psychiatrists, perhaps the most outstanding of whom is Kretschmer (86-88), are conducting extensive scientific investigations on the relation of personality types to certain bodily structures,-the slight, the athletic, the muscular, the plump, the undersized, and so on. The work on the "constitutional" basis of personality has been reviewed by Bogen. (20) It is also discussed in our Chapter V.The attempt to correlate psychological traits with physical make-up presents a common meeting ground for anthropology and psychology, and was reflected in Galton's proposals to the British Association for the Advancement of Science (44, 45) to pursue a scientific inquiry into "the groups of men who are sufficiently similar MEASUREMENT OF PERSONALITY 91 and skills (intelligence factors), 2. Desires, opinions, attitudes, motives (so-called dynamic factors), 3. Social behavior, conduct (performance factors), 4. Self-control, relation of these factors to one another and to self-integration. Later (pp. 118 ff), we shall discuss tests by the Inquiry to cover each of the above divisions.The work of the Inquiry was officially closed in 1929, but the interest of the investigators, May and Hartshorne, now both of Yale, will no doubt continue to express itself through the channels of the Yale Institute of Human Relations, of which Dr. May is Executive Secretary.
