Mother-Child Fantasy Play and Social Status of Young Children.
Goudena, Paul P.; Vermeulen, Margot
Early Child Development and Care, v129 p95-103 Feb 1997
This study investigated mother-child dyads of differing social status engaged in fantasy play (children were age 54 to 80 months). Contrary to expectations, high-status dyads did not produce more or more complex utterances during fantasy play than low-status dyads. Low-status dyads were characterized by more negative affect and child behavior problems. (MOK)
