| Abstract: | The purpose of the study was to examine the effects of a social development program on role-taking, problem-solving skills, and classroom adjustment in 9- and 10-year-old children. The subjects in the study were 68 children (34 matched pairs); the 34 experimental children were matched on the basis of sex, race, age, and group IQ scores with students in the control group. The results indicated that the children in the experimental group gained in respect for others, ability to generate alternatives to problem situations, creative expression, patience, and self-reliance. |
