The test uses nine drawings and four stories to elicit responses from students. The drawings and stories each depict a situation or dilemma involving people and animals and gives students the opportunity to indicate how they would respond if they were the person in the situation. Thus, this test does not measure actual behavior, but measures children's perceptions of how they would behave in situations which allowed humane or inhumane behavior.

2 SITUATIONAL TEST OF HUMANE RESPONSES INSTRUCTIONS FORM I (grades 4, 5, & 6) Say, MY NAME IS. WHAT IS YOUR NAME? (Record student's name.) WHAT IS YOUR TEACHER'S NAME? Record teacher's name.) WHAT GRADE ARE YOU IN? Record student's grade level.) I'M HERE TODAY TO FIND OUT WHAT CHILDREN WOULD DO IN DIFFERENT SITUATIONS. TO DO THAT, I HAVE SOME PICTURES TO SHOW YOU AND SOME STORIES TO READ TO YOU. THEN, AFTER I SHOW YOU EACH PICTURE OR READ YOU EACH STORY, I WILL ASK YOU TO PRETEND THAT YOU ARE SOMEONE IN THE PICTURE OR STORY. THEN I WILL HAVE YOU TELL ME WHAT YOU WOULD DO IF YOU WERE THAT PERSON. THERE ARE NO RIGHT OR WRONG ANSWERS. PICTURES (Stack drawings/stories upside down in order) 1. Place the picture so that the child can see it well. (Do not let students look ahead at other pictures, since that may distract them.) Say to the child: LOOK AT PICTURE. TELL ME EVERYTHING YOU SEE IN THE PICTURE. 2. If in describing the picture, the child describes the action, go to point 3 below. If the child describes objects, but misses the action, say, TELL ME WHAT IS HAPPENING IN THE PICTURE. If the child misses any significant aspect of the action or options available to him/her, you should direct his/her attention to that portion of the picture, without telling him/her what to do with the item or option. 3. Now say: PRETEND YOU ARE (identity will be inserted for you for each item). TELL ME WHAT YOU WOULD DO. 4. Record the first response the child gives to the item. If the child's response fits within any of the categories provided, tally the response in the appropriate category. If the response does not fit any of the categories provided, write down the sense of the response in the space provided under "other." 5. After each response followed by the word WHY? ask: WHY WOULD YOU DO THAT? Any response followed by WHY? has a list of possible answers to WHY? When you say to a child, TELL ME WHAT YOU WOULD DO? first find the proper letter for his/her answer and place

3 your finger beside it. Next ask, WHY WOULD YOU DO THAT? and then write a 1 in the appropriate space before the answers to WHY? If the child's answer fits a given answer category, but the child's answer to WHY? doesn't fit the given choices, write the answer to WHY? out to the side of the item. (If WHY? is not included, it is because the reason is self-evident.) 6. If the child's response is too brief or not directly relevant to the action presented in the item, repeat the question or say CAN YOU TELL ME MORE? 7. For some items, two responses are called for; such items have an additional question (Question 3). For such items, ask: WHAT WOULD YOU DO THEN? Record the student's response, using the same alternatives and procedures as for the first response. (Of course, it will not be the same response and, therefore, cannot be checked on the same line.) 8. If both the child s responses are in the Other category, number the first response 1 and put (...) around the answer to WHY? Then, number the second response 2 and use (...) around the answer to WHY? 9. You will always ask WHY? after a response you place in the OTHER category. STORIES 1. Say: I AM GOING TO READ YOU A STORY. PLEASE LISTEN CAREFULLY SINCE I AM GOING TO ASK YOU SOME QUESTIONS ABOUT THE STORY. 2. Read the story, carefully and clearly. 3. Say: NOW, PRETEND YOU ARE (identity will be provided on each test item). WILL YOU FINISH THE STORY? WHAT WOULD YOU DO? 4. Record the first response the child gives to the item. If the child's response fits within any of the categories provided, tally the response in the appropriate category. If the response does not fit any of the categories provided, write down the sense of the response in the space provided under "other." 5. After each response followed by the word WHY? ask: WHY WOULD YOU DO THAT? Any response followed by WHY? has a list of possible

4 answers to WHY? When you say to a child, TELL ME WHAT YOU WOULD DO? first find the proper letter for his/her answer and place your finger beside it. Next, ask WHY WOULD YOU DO THAT? and then write a 1 in the appropriate space before the answers to WHY? If the child's answer fits a given answer category, but the child's answer to WHY? doesn't fit the given choices, write the answer to WHY? out to the side of the item. (WHY? is not included when the reason is self-evident.) 6. If a child's response is too brief or not directly relevant to the action presented in the item, repeat the question or say: CAN YOU TELL ME MORE? 7. For some items, two responses are called for; such items have an additional question (Question 2). For such items ask: WHAT WOULD YOU DO THEN? Record the student's response, using the same alternatives and procedures as for the first response. (Of course, it will not be the same response, and therefore cannot be checked on the same line.) 8. If both the child's responses are in the "OTHER" category, number the first response 1 and put (...) around the answer to WHY? Then, number the second response 2 and use (...) around the answer to WHY? 9. You will ALWAYS ask WHY? after a response you place in the "OTHER" category.

20 STORY 1 Johnny lived on a farm with his grandparents and his dog, Sandy. One hot summer day Johnny's parents asked him to go for a ride with them to the city. Johnny asked if he could take Sandy too. When they reached the city, Johnny's parents decided to stop for a pizza. They left Sandy in the car, since she was not allowed to go inside. The restaurant was much cooler than the car, which was hot from the sun shining through the windows. Johnny looked outside and saw Sandy climbing out of the open car window. She jumped to the ground and began to trot toward a street. Johnny went out and called Sandy back before she reached the street, for he was afraid she might be hit by a car. Johnny picked Sandy up and walked back toward their parked car. Now, pretend you are Johnny. Will you finish the story? What would you do?

23 STORY 2 Sally really hated snakes. She could not understand Pete, her friend and neighbor, because he actually kept a garter snake as a pet. He told Sally his snake was harmless and wouldn't hurt anyone. One day Sally's mother sent her out to hoe weeds in the garden. It was hot and Sally was angry because she would rather be playing with her friends. Finally, Pete came over and sat in the shade and talked to her while she worked. Sally was chopping angrily at the weeds with her hoe when she saw something move in the weeds on the next row. Stepping closer, Sally looked down and there close to her foot was a snake! Now, pretend you are Sally. Will you finish the story? What would you do?

26 STORY 3 Julie and her family moved to town after living on a farm. They brought their dog, Sparky, from the farm to their new home in town. When they lived on the farm, Sparky could go anywhere he wanted to go, but in town he had to be tied up because dogs were not allowed to run loose in town. Julie came home after school one day and saw Sparky tied up. She thought, "I can't stand seeing Sparky tied to a rope everyday, so I will untie the rope and let him run around the neighborhood for a while." Julie untied the rope and Sparky ran off. A few minutes later, Julie heard an angry voice. She looked up and saw Sparky running up the sidewalk toward her, dragging a neighbor's tablecloth in his mouth. Julie took the tablecloth away from Sparky and returned it to her neighbor and apologized. Now, pretend you are Julie. Will you finish the story? What would you do?

Her parents told her that if she was late this time, she would not be allowed to go to the birthday party. Since Jane wanted very much to go to the party, she decided to make sure to be on time. That day, after school, Jane was hurrying across the playground to meet her parents when she heard a strange noise. She looked around and saw a small dog lying on the ground under a tree. The dog looked like it might be sick. Jane knew that if she stopped to see what was wrong with the dog, she would be late meeting her parents. Now, pretend you are Jane. Will you finish the story? What would you do?
