Dynamic Aspects of Fairy Tales: Social and Emotional Competence through Fairy Tales.
Hohr, Hansjorg
Scandinavian Journal of Educational Research, v44 n1 p89-103 Mar 2000
Explores how fairy tales address socio-emotional challenges children face during their socialization. Applies a structural theory of fairy tales to three literary versions of the Cinderella story. Suggests that the combination of simplicity of form and complexity of content makes the fairy tale a powerful tool for perception of and reflection on emotions. (SLD)
