Guest gabysagal Posted May 1, 2013 Share Posted May 1, 2013 Hi I am doing some research into the effect of telling children stories with nasty endings - think of all the Biblical stories from the Old Testament - lots of death, plagues etc. Apart from work done by Bruno Bettelheim, can anyone suggest other research i could look at Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnonyMouse_3139 Posted May 1, 2013 Share Posted May 1, 2013 The Brothers Grimm fairy tales were always rather, well grim. Hans Anderson tended to be softer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted May 1, 2013 Share Posted May 1, 2013 I would think the best research would be watching a group of children listening to The Hairy Toe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest gabysagal Posted May 8, 2013 Share Posted May 8, 2013 thanks. what i am really interested in is not so much doing the practical research but looking at what psychologists say about possible negative/positive effects on children's personal, social and emotional development of listening to these stories. i have got Betleheim's book which i will start reading, but wondered if there is any more recent research on this area Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
