The Mind of the Beholder: Some Provisional Doubts about the U-Shaped Aesthetic Development Thesis.
Pariser, David; Berg, Axel van den
Studies in Art Education, v38 n3 p158-78 Spr 1997
Replicates Jessica Davis' study of the U-shaped aesthetic development curve in a cross-cultural setting. Examines whether a similar U-curve is evidenced in Chinese aesthetic development. Presents results that suggest that Chinese aesthetic criteria do not produce a U-shaped evaluation of artistic skills. Discusses limitations of the study. (DSK)
