Abstract:

This dissertation is an exploration of the nature of daydreaming and its relationship to literacy development in the lives of four children. The children were interviewed and the data is presented in four interpretive case studies. Of the four children, ages 11-13, two of the children are urban and two children live on a southwestern Indian reservation. Five themes emerged from the interviews with the children regarding their use and description of daydreaming: daydreaming, imagination, reading, writing, and school. The children consistently made distinctions between daydreaming and imaginatio

The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between a family's use of normalization and the psychosocial adjustment (personal adjustment, role skills, and perceived competence) of children with chronic physical disorders (CPD). Seventy-six mothers and their CPD children participated in the study. Families' use of normalization was related to CPD child's psychosocial adjustment. Specifically, mothers' perceptions that their families and other people perceived their family and CPD child as normal were strongly related to overall high personal adjustment, better peer relationships,

It is well recognized that peers socialize one another but although many studies have examined the influence of peers on adolescents' risky behaviors far fewer have focused on the influence peers may have on individuals' positive behaviors.

Of the latter category, fear of fire-getting burned emerged as the second most commonly reported fear among children.
