This study was designed to assess the relative effectiveness of one available guidance program at the elementary level, Developing Understanding of Self and Others (DUSO). The program is appropriate for young children, ages 5 through 8, and attempts through listening, inquiry, discussion, and role playing to help children better understand social-emotional behavior. A review of the literature produced no appropriate measuring instrument. Thus, a specially prepared device for assessing the affective objectives of the program was constructed and used. Results indicated that DUSO was an effective guidance program. (Author/ST)
