Internal state language

[Christine Wing]

My dissertation project is an investigation of the relationship between use
of internal state language and behavior problems in 3-5- year-old children
who are at social risk. I am looking for stimulus materials to elicit
internal state words (Bretherton & Beeghley, 1982). These words are
categorized as perceptual (e.g., see, hear), volition and ability (e.g.,
want, need), cognition (e.g., think, know) and moral judgement and
obligation (e.g., good, naughty).  Most recent studies have focused on a
subset of such words that includes categories of desire, cognition, affect,
and moral judgement. These are referred to as mental state language (e.g.,
Bartsch & Wellman, 1995). I would very much appreciate input on elicitation
techniques and stimulus materials. These may include scenarios, videos,
stories, pictures, etc.
I look forward to your responses.
