Anticipatory and Fantastic Role Enactment in Preschool Triads.
McLoyd, Vonnie C.; And Others
Developmental Psychology, v20 n5 p807-14 Sep 1984
Examines the relationship between domestic, occupational, fantastic, and peripheral role enactment and object ideation, social organization (solitary versus interactive behavior), and metacommunication. Each of 12 same-age, same-sex triads of three and one-half- and five-year-old children was observed during two 30-minute sessions under conditions varying the specificity of functions of available objects.
