The Educational Value of Stories Concerning Children's Fears: A Training Study with Second-Year Psychology Students.
Vandenplas-Holper, Christiane
Scientia Paedagogica Experimentalis, v32 n1 p97-126 1995
College psychology students rated 18 books on children's fears according to their potential impact on children's socioemotional growth. During a training program, they coded the books based on story grammar and specific categories of children's fears. Students then rerated the stories. Interrater reliability increased significantly from initial to final evaluation. (SM)
