The resistant behavior of infants and children. II.

Abstract

Further work on the study of 'resistance of infants and children during mental tests' 1 consisted in making detailed records of the behavior manifested. Notes were recorded immediately while the children were being tested, from the moment of entrance into the testing room to the time of exit. The items grouped themselves into convenient classifications, designated in Table I. The resistance-patterns of one hundred and ten children, six to fifty-four months of age, were tabulated in this way. They represent one hundred and ten out of a total of two hundred and forty-two cases examined in one town. In the following table the number, studied in such detail, are arranged according to sex in six-month age groups.

Children’s protest in relation to the climate emergency: A qualitative study on a new form of resistance promoting political and social change

“…The overall picture of children’s resistance shows that it may take several forms and be directed at various social and political arenas and practices. Many studies have been carried out from an individual perspective in a local environment such as school and family (Levy and Tulchin, 1925; Smith, 1991). However, very little has been done in relation to structural, global issues such as the climate emergency and the problems of the future and coming generations in relation to this.…”

Genetic studies of emotions.

“…Levy and Tulchin (80) (81), in a study of baby conference children, six to fifty-four months of age, report that in test situations the most intense and the most frequent resistant actions centered about the 18th month for girls and the 30th month for boys. Keens and Blatz (69), in a study of nursery school children, have found a greater frequency of emotional episodes in three-year-olds.…”

Child psychology. A review of the literature, January 1, 1923, to March 31, 1928.

“…Flayol (131) outlines the sensorial education and development of a small child. The resistances of young children and infants have been studied by Levy (291) and Levy and Tulchin (289,292). Levy classifies the resistances of children into three groups, complete, partial, and no resistance.…”
