Espinosa, Michael P.; And Others

Developmental Psychology, v28 n6 p1188-95 Nov 1992

Measured the food intake and observed the playground behaviors of Kenyan school-age children. Well-nourished children were more active and happier, showed more leadership behavior, and were less anxious on the school playground than poorly nourished children. Amount of time spent in school was related to decreases in children's solitariness. (BC)
