Ear Asymmetry in Preschoolers for Detecting Emotional Prosodic Feature and Phonemic Information in Speech.
The cerebral asymmetry for processing speech was confirmed in 4-year old Japanese
children exposed to dichotic listening tasks. Thirty-six pairs of Japanese names were
presented dichotically to 36 preschoolers, all right-handers. The names differed only
in the initial syllable and were pronounced in different emotional tones. The task was
either to detect a specific name, phonemic detection, or a specific emotion, prosodic
detection. The right ear advantage was found in phonemic detection and the left ear
advantage was found in prosodic detection.

Shigeo KAWAMURA & Fujio TAGAMI：
Relationship between Teachers' Compulsive Beliefs on Teaching Activities and Their Pupils' School Morale.
The stubbornness of elementary school teachers was measured by the newly assembled
questionnaire, named "Teachers' Compulsive Beliefs on Teaching Activities
Questionnaire", administered to 105 teachers of public elementary schools in Tokyo
area. Their teaching activities were also rated by their colleagues. The School
Morale Test developed by Tazaki & Karino(1985) was given to the pupils of their classes.
The results showed that the teachers of high scores on the Questionnaire, i.e. stubborn
teachers, tended to be rated poorly by their colleagues and that their pupils tended to have
lower school morale.

Study of the Perceived Competence Scale for Adolescence.
Harter's Perceived Competence Scale for Children (Harter, 1982) was revised so as to be
used for Japanese adolescents as well as children. The newly developed scale consists
of the following five sub-domains;(a)cognitive competence, (b)extracurricular
competence including physical competence, (c) social competence with the same sex, (d)
social competence with the opposite sex, and (e)general self-worth. The last one was
considered as independent of any other sub-domains. The scale was administered to
794 junior, and senior high school students and college students and its factorial
validity was confirmed by principal component analysis.
