Method for Quantitative Analysis of Dramatic Play
Perla Tait · Perceptual and Motor Skills · 1974
A method for the quantitative analysis of dramatic play is presented based on narrative case records in which the following items were isolated: dramatic units, involvement of O requested by S, longest dramatic unit. The longest dramatic units were further analyzed for amount of time, sub-units introduced, intensity, and themes expressed. This method appears potentially useful for intensive study of dramatic play.
