The Impact of Captions On Hearing-Impaired Children's Affective Reactions To Television

An assessment was made of the impact of captions on hearing-impaired students' affective reactions to a version of a popular children's television program, Shazam. Forty-two hearing-impaired children ranging in age from 8 to 12 years old were randomly divided into 2 groups; 1 group viewed the program without captions and the other viewed it with captions at a very simple language level. During and following the presentation the children rated their perception of the characters' emotions and personality traits. They also indicated their liking of various program scenes, and gave their predictions concerning how characters would behave in new but similar situations. Results indicated that captions seemed to enhance hearing-impaired children's abilities to perceive the emotional complexity of presented information. The implications are discussed in the following review.

Suicide potential and behavior in children ages 4 to 12.

From a population of 662 children 12 years of age and under, seen at the UCLA Neuropsychiatric Institute, during the years 1970 to 1974, 34 severely depressed children were identified who were also self-abusive and/or suicidal. Case study revealed fragmented, pathological homes, where the children's affect disorders and behaviors were symptomatic of acute family breakdown, marital disharmony, and observed and experienced violence, both verbal and physical. Follow-up on all available children, at least three years posttreatment, revealed that no child had committed suicide. Treatment evaluation by the parents was highly positive, with the great majority of children showing fair to good recovery and adjustment.

THE YOUNG CHILD'S AWARENESS OF AFFECT

This study focuses on the young child's awareness of affect concepts. 102 children, ages 4-6, were rated for affect awareness by their teachers and on their responses to 6 verbal and performance tests. The results of a cluster analysis of teacher ratings and intercorrelation of tests provide modest support for several hypotheses. Teachers describe the child who can verbalize his feelings as expressive, mature, empathic, and imaginative. The data suggest that a child's affect awareness is a general orientation which he utilizes in his selective response to other people and in his awareness of self.

Image of a President: Some Insights into the Political Views of School Children*

The map of the child's political world is slowly beginning to be filled in. The areas best filled in so far are his view of certain government officials (President, judges, policemen, etc.) and his understanding (or lack of understanding) of the operation of specific political institutions (legislatures, parties, etc.). Of all persons in government none is as well known as the President of the United States. Even at an early age children know his name and even his party affiliation. Best documented so far is the nature of the child's affection for the President. Apparently he enjoys the child's deep respect, admiration, loyalty, and even love. Some scholars have gone so far as to imply that he symbolizes nation, leadership, and father all in one. This being the case, it seems imperative that we ask: Is the President merely a symbol of leadership who will be loved irrespective of the political stands he takes, or is he seen as a genuine political figure who stands for specific political principles, legislation, etc.?
