Body Awareness and Age as Predictors of Interpersonal Problem Solving Performance.
Henderson, Phyllis; Paterno, JoAnna
This study investigated whether physical self-awareness and age are significant predictors of interpersonal problem-solving ability in young children. A total of 84 preschool and kindergarten children were administered the Preschool Interpersonal Problem Solving Test and the Body Awareness (Part I) microcomputer program. A backward-stepwise multiple regression analysis revealed that physical self-awareness and age jointly have predictive value as a measure of interpersonal problem-solving ability. It was concluded that an increase in age does not necessarily predict an increase in interpersonal problem-solving performance. It was also concluded that an increase in body awareness may predict an increase in interpersonal problem-solving performance. A three-page list of references is included. (Author/RH)
