Twenty-one children aged 4 to 9 years enacted four social roles—doctor, nurse, mother of sick child, and father of sick child—on two occasions, once shortly before and once shortly after the children themselves were hospitalized for minor elective surgerv. Measures were taken of the children's skill at talking appropriately in each of the four roles, and at using specific features of the sick-room register, that is, a nurturant style and the medical lexicon. The children improved significantly on number and length of in-role utterances, and on their ability to make plot-furthering contributions to the play sessions. The boys were generally less skillful at using in-role language, especially the nurturant speech style. The girls' better performance for the 'female roles' (nurse and mother) was particularly striking, whereas boys performed relatively better in the roles of doctor and father. If a major component of children's failure to maintain the appropriate in-role speech register is their lack of real-world knowledge about how the social role models typically talk, then improvement in skill at using role-specific registers could occur simply as a result of exposure to those roles in real-world settings, at least for children old enough to have mastered the cognitive prerequisites to role play. The results of this study indicate a greater effect of hospitalization experience on children's general conception of hospital roles and plots than on specific linguistic markers of the sick-room register. |
