Abstract
The main research objectives were (a) to study the social schemata of children on two measures: distance between figures and differences between heights of figures, the latter measure has not been previously studied; (b) to compare two types of placements, dyad vs. family placements, a parameter not previously attended to. A modified version of Kuethe’s technique was employed. Twelve figures were employed, six male and six female, designed to depict adults and children. Each of the participants, 63 boys and 64 girls, 5th graders, was instructed to place himself/herself, a father figure, a mother figure, and all three figures, three separate placements in all, on a sheet of paper measuring 80 × 42 cm. The child was free to choose one of three figures, each differing in height for both child and adult figures. Results confirmed the hypothesis that there are differences between dyad and family placements both as regards distance and height. Sex differences were also noted.
