Social Class Differences in Time Orientation: Artifact

Kendall, Martha B.; Sibley, Ralph F.

Journal of Social Psychology, 82, 2, 187-191, Dec '70

Replicates and corroborates a study by L. L. LeShan which reported that middle class (MC) children's stories cover a longer time span than those of lower class (LC) children. MC children's stories, however, were also longer in length and contained more past tense verbs. Time span may be an artifact of story length. (DB)
