subject factors: age (3 levels) and condition (3 levels).
Version (4 levels) was the within-subject factor. There
were six repeated measures: story components (setting,
initiating event, internal response, attempt, cause of
consequence, and consequence). Post hoc analyses were
conducted using the Newman-Keul's test. Means for each
variable by age and condition are shown in Table 3 (Appendix
F). Graphically, age differences are depicted for these
variables in Figure 3.
Setting and initiating event. A significant main
effect of age was found for both recall of setting, F(2,135)
= 20.66, MSe = .333, and initiating event, F(2,135) = 8.70,
MSe = .266. Post hoc analyses showed that the youngest
children recalled fewer settings and fewer initiating events
than either the middle or oldest age groups.
Internal response. For internal response, a
significant main effect was found for age, F(2,135) = 15.34,
MSe = .275. Post hoc analyses showed that the youngest
children recalled fewer internal responses than the middle
or oldest age groups. There was also a significant main
effect for version, F(3,405) = 6.42, MSe = .163. Children
also recalled significantly more internal responses when the
story protagonist's intention was malicious (Versions 3 and
4) than they recalled when the protagonist's intention was
positive (Versions 1 and 2). Means for each version
separated by age are shown in Table 4.
