By employing an analytic method developed by the authors entitled the Inventory of Dramatic Behavior, this project set out to accomplish the following goals: (1) to provide a developmental profile of dramatic behavior of Florida elementary school children, (2) to correlate such data with previous results from a New York City sample, and (3) to correlate such data with creativity measures on the same subjects. The project was conducted in three phases. Phase 1 employed a representative sample of children from the Lab School. The testing situation contained maximal university controls, permitting the testing of 28 dramatic dimensions per half-year intervals for ages 6-12. These data were compared to creativity indexes perfected by Torrance. Phase 2 employed similar procedures but tested 260 subjects in their home schools across Florida. Phase 3 provided time for data processing and analysis. Major findings were as follows: (1) among Florida subjects, behavior increased with age (a finding the reverse of that discovered in New York), (2) Florida girls were more active than boys, and (3) the dramatic behavior correlated highly with the creativity measures. Other qualitative information was discovered. Finally, the results demonstrate the efficacy of the measures and procedures employed. (Author)
