ABSTRACT
This chapter considers all the items in the tentative social and emotional development scale in relation to the actual behaviour of the children. Several new items were added, since the length of the scale was now considered of less importance than the representation of many different kinds of social and emotional behaviour. The number of items in the scales and in each sub-section were brought to a round number by eliminating the least essential ones, in order that scoring might be simplified. The classification of the items of social behaviour was not changed. But the items were arranged in each sub-section roughly in order, so that the less developed forms of social behaviour came at the top of the lists and the more developed forms of behaviour were placed lower down. The five sub-sections of the Emotional Development Scale were changed somewhat, both as to title and content.
