Abstract
This study examined developmental trends of person perception by a free description method. Five content analysis measures (fatal number of statements, central statements, traits, and number of statements classified into each of Free Description Category and Person Perception Category) were used for analysing descriptions. The latter two measures were newly introduced in this paper. Third- and 5th-grade elementary school pupils were subjects. 3rd-graders used more concrete and less abstract constricts than 5th-graders. Girls showed more fluency and more interest in human relationships than boys. Higher IQ groups could use a greater number of traits than lower IQ groups.
