Deprivation/enhancement fantasy patterns in children.

M E Stearns, D Graybill

    Psychological Reports
    |August 1, 1989
    PubMed
    Summary

    Children's story narratives differ by gender, with previous research indicating females move from negative to positive themes and males vice-versa. This study explored this gendered storytelling pattern in children but found inconsistent results compared to prior findings.

    Area of Science:

    • Psychology
    • Developmental Psychology
    • Narrative Psychology

    Background:

    • Previous research indicates distinct gender-based narrative trajectories in adults.
    • Females typically narrate experiences from deprivation to enhancement.
    • Males typically narrate experiences from enhancement to deprivation.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate gender differences in narrative theme progression in children.
    • To examine if previously observed gendered storytelling patterns extend to a younger demographic.
    • To utilize a novel story-telling procedure to assess narrative development.

    Main Methods:

    • A cohort of children participated in a unique story-telling procedure.
    • Narrative themes were analyzed for directional changes (e.g., negative to positive).
    • Results were compared against established findings from adult studies.

    Main Results:

    • The observed narrative patterns in children were not consistent with prior research findings.
    • Gender-based differences in narrative theme progression were less pronounced or absent.
    • The specific story-telling procedure may have influenced the outcome.

    Conclusions:

    • The established gendered narrative patterns may not be present in children or may emerge later in development.
    • Further research is needed to explore developmental changes in narrative construction.
    • Alternative methodologies may be required to capture nuanced gender differences in children's storytelling.
