- Summary:
-
Effects of age and gender of preschool children and sex of parent on parental teaching strategies in a fantasy play situation were examined. Relations of parental strategies to children's fantasy play were assessed. Play sessions were held in a small playroom equipped with materials which facilitated dramatic production. The linguistic strategies used by 20 parent-child groupings were analyzed and parents' strategies were coded according to cognitive demand, positive support, and directiveness. Findings indicated that strategies did not vary as a function of age of children or gender or sex of parent. Higher levels of cognitive demands, positive support, and directiveness were positively and significantly correlated with children's fantasy play. In contrast, medium levels of cognitive demands were negatively and significantly correlated with children's fantasy play. Results are discussed in terms of Sigel's distancing model. (RH)
