This factor was not identified on the elementary-age version of the same scale, a finding that corroborates the notion that the advanced cognitive and affective skills needed for empathy do not tend to emerge until adolescence. The advanced language development that occurs by friendships seems to become more autonomous during this period, although increasing interdependence relating to psychological support tends to occur simultaneously. Adolescent friendships are typified by the process of self-exploration and self-definition. According to Gottman, adolescents use friendships to explore who they are, what they believe, and what they will become through complex verbal interactions in a supportive environment.

Reading as a specific manifestation of the "meta-skills" of planning, regulating, and self-evaluating: Evaluation of person, task, and strategy variables results in an assessment of the task difficulty relative to one's abilities and an assessment of the relative effectiveness of different strategies.

Student Involvement The attitudes of the students are clearly of importance to the school health counselor and must be taken into account in both the consultative and counseling roles. West, Kayser, Overton, and Saltmarsh (1991) note certain student perceptions that inhibit counseling.
Child Abuse in England Initial Information The bruises on Clara's upper arms are indicative of something serious that the health visitor, if she, indeed, has been seeing her for two and a half years, should have noted or anticipated. The account given is so scanty that the general information can hardly be gleaned. The other family members should have been asked or given in the account, even if the health visitor does
Children and the Media Whether or not children should be allowed to watch television or movies is one that elicits great controversy among parents, educators, and child development experts.
