LITTLE GOLDEN BOOKS™ : AN ANALYSIS OF EVERY CHILD'S LITERTURE by Sandra Ballman-Burke A Thesis Submitted to the Faculty of The Graduate College in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Degree of Master of Arts Department of Sociology Western Michigan University Kalamazoo, Michigan June 1997 Copyright by Sandra Ballman-Burke 1997 ACKNOWLEDGMENTS I am grateful for the opportunity to thank the members of my graduate committee, Dr. Susan Caringella-MacDonald, Dr. Gerald Markle and Dr. Douglas Davidson, for their patience in allowing this work to come to fruition and for taking their time to review the contents. I would particularly like to thank Dr. Susan Caringella-MacDonald for her organizational and editorial assistance. Her help with this project, as well as many others over the past decade, has been both invaluable and remarkable! Thank you! I must also thank my daughters, Christina and Katherine. You have been my inspiration!. Sandra Ballman-Burke ii LITTLE GOLDEN BOOKS™ : AN ANALYSIS OF EVERY CHILD'S LITERATURE Sandra Ballman-Burke, M.A. Western Michigan University, 1997 Modeling theory proposes that consequences received by the mo­ del are considered critical in determining whether or not modeled behaviors will be imitated (Bandura, Ross & Ross, 1961). Despite the apparent significance of consequences, analyses of children's literature have failed to explore this link. Utili­ zing feminist research perspectives, I sought to examine variables explored in previous analyses of picture books, with emphasis on consequences received by models. I was interested in (a) conse­ quences received by female and male characters when engaged in instrumental/independent activities (Kortenhaus & Demarest, 1993); (b) the ways in which female and male characters are stereotyped; and (c) changes in female and male characterizations two decades. Little Golden Books™ published over two decades were sam­ ples. Frequency counts were compiled on a number of variables. Statistical analyses were utilized to determine relationships be­ tween variables and generalizability of findings. Characters were found to receive differential consequences by sex when engaged in socially valued activities. Female characters when visible, were portrayed in traditional roles. Characteriza­ tions remained fairly constant over the two decades examined.

Nurture: The Controversy in Brief Bobby puts on his pants, and socks, and shoes. He can dress himself. I put on mine. Over my head goes my shirt. Oops! My arm is stuck. Mommy will help me put it on. Mommy buckles my shoes. 'You're a good girl, Martha,' says Mommy. 'You can almost dress yourself.' (Cushman, 1972, seventh printing) When I casually asked associates and family members, "Why does Bobby dress himself, while Martha does not?", a bevy of explanations was offered. "Bobby is older." "Bobby is bigger." "Bobby is anxious to demonstrate his competence." "Bobby is ·able to dress himself, but Martha needs help." "Bobby's mother is more concerned with Martha's appearance than Bobby's." "Martha wants help, so she stalls." "Bob­ by's clothing is easier to put on." Sociological research has posed essentially the same question culminating in a literature consisting of diverse findings and inter­ pretations advocating both nature and nurture perspectives. For example, E.O.

  • Batman Miniature Game Teams
    TEAMS IN Gotham MAY 2020 v1.2 Teams represent an exciting new addition to the Batman Miniature Game, and are a way of creating themed crews that represent the more famous (and infamous) groups of heroes and villains in the DC universe. Teams are custom crews that are created using their own rules instead of those found in the Configuring Your Crew section of the Batman Miniature Game rulebook. In addition, Teams have some unique special rules, like exclusive Strategies, Equipment or characters to hire. CONFIGURING A TEAM First, you must choose which team you wish to create. On the following pages, you will find rules for several new teams: the Suicide Squad, Bat-Family, The Society, and Team Arrow. Models from a team often don’t have a particular affiliation, or don’t seem to have affiliations that work with other members, but don’t worry! The following guidelines, combined with the list of playable characters in appropriate Recruitment Tables, will make it clear which models you may include in your custom crew. Once you have chosen your team, use the following rules to configure it: • You must select a model to be the Team’s Boss. This model doesn’t need to have the Leader or Sidekick Rank – s/he can also be a Free Agent. See your team’s Recruitment Table for the full list of characters who can be recruited as your team’s Boss. • Who is the Boss in a Team? 1. If there is a model with Boss? Always present, they MUST be the Boss, regardless of a rank.
