Pictures from the past.

rivkaI never got around to presenting my dissertation data at the primary conference in my field - mostly because by the time I finished the damn thing, the research I was doing was completely separate from my dissertation topic. I always had HIV stuff to present at the Society of Behavioral Medicine. Besides, it's not a conference that tends to bring in many people with either child/developmental interests, or disability interests, so my dissertation topic was off the beaten track for the meeting.
But this year I thought, what the hell. I submitted an abstract based on my dissertation research, and it was accepted for presentation as a poster. (I knew I wasn't going to be offered an oral presentation, given the off-the-beaten-trackness.) Now I'm putting the poster together, which means, among other things, that I pulled out the photos of misbehaving children which I used for our analog measure of abuse potential.
There's a lot more information about the analog task at that link, but essentially, we showed parents slides of various child behaviors and asked them how they would respond. Some of the photos are normal kid stuff, and some of them are really not. There's a mix of normal behaviors, rule violations, destructive behaviors, and dangerous behaviors.
[photos removed]
I thought people might be interested in seeing the photos, so I uploaded about a dozen of them to my Flickr account. Youcan see the whole set here. (Photos have been taken down.)
Because they're research items, I'm only going to leave them up for a few days - so look now, if you're curious.

Re: Wow.
Date: 2007-03-16 09:00 pm (UTC)Wildly inappropriate for a child that age, yes, but potentially harmful long term? Nah, if the scenario is "look what i found in daddy's closet!" light level of perusal. I suspect the highly sexualized content of penthouse (which, if I remember correctly, is mainly images of naked women, with a few penetration photos) would go entirely over their heads.
Heck, I think if my kids (age 3 and 16 months) found a copy of penthouse, they'd just think "nursies".
Note, I am not suggesting handing a 6 year old porn - as I mentioned above, wildly inappropriate. And I'd be worried about where he got it - i.e. it wasn't given to him by someone a lot older - which would set off red flags for me for potential abuse.
