[Selection and estimation of meals by children of different ages].

With regard to the reported knowledge concerning the health value of food in 9-10-year-old children (DGE, 1984) the question arose of whether this knowledge is also valid if pupils have to evaluate meals. Twenty-seven photos of meals (9 each of breakfast, lunch and supper) were presented to 252 children of the age groups 6-7, 9-10 and 12-13 years. By means of these photos, they were requested to organize their meals for 3 days. Subsequent to this procedure the children were asked to evaluate the meals with regard to their health value. The presented meals were classified by five experts of nutrition as more healthy, indifferent and less healthy. The results showed an improved selection of more healthy meals with increasing age. Likewise, the selection of meals for lunch and supper was better than the one for breakfast. There were no differences between boys and girls and children with and without experience of dieting. The evaluation of more healthy and less healthy meals demonstrated an improvement with increasing age. In contradiction to these results, children within all age groups showed a very low level of estimation (10%) for indifferently classified meals and this level did not improve with increasing age. The results were discussed concerning the establishment of an appropriate education of nutrition with regard to the developmental stage and the emotional and motivational engagement of the children.

[Results of the revision of the 1983 Hamburg-Wechsler Intelligence Test for Children in students with severe reading disorders].

In connection with the current discussion about the use of the HAWIK-R in differential diagnosis, 20 children with severe reading retardation were tested with both the HAWIK and the HAWIK-R and the results compared, and 48 children with this disorder were tested with the HAWIK-R and divided into three groups by the amount of difference between verbal and performance scores. The results on the subtests of the HAWIK-R were grouped by the categories recommended by Titze and Tewes. In the first part of the study, the 20 reading retarded children scored lower on the HAWIK-R than on the HAWIK on the majority of subtests and also had much lower verbal, performance and full scale IQs. In the second part of the study, we found marked differences between the groups on most of the HAWIK-R subtests, especially between the groups where the verbal IQ was lower than the performance IQ and where the verbal IQ was higher than the performance IQ. With regard to the categories of subtests, the children with a lower verbal than performance IQ showed deficits attributable to poor learning skills, milieu and attention relatively frequently. On the other hand, the children with a higher verbal than performance IQ tended to have deficits in perceptuomotor skills and disorders of integrative brain functions. The problems involved in using the HAWIK-R for differential diagnosis are critically evaluated. If the HAWIK-R data are examined in detail and the child involved is observed carefully this test can provide useful information for setting up remediation programs for poor readers.

[Psychometric results in patients with Klinefelter syndrome].

In psychodiagnostic investigation 12 Klinefelter-patients and 12 psychosomatic patients matched for age and socioeconomic status were compared. Our results are generally in agreement with the observations in recent research concerning some personality traits. 1. The intelligence of Klinefelter-patients rather meets the mark of practical than educational standards. Therefore these patients quite often fail at school, which otherwise is adequate to the level of their general-IQ. 2. Klinefelter-patients generally score low in the masculinity-scale. Equally remarkable is the tendency towards introversion, shyness, inhibition and an unstable emotionality.

[Psycho-diagnostic results in diabetic and obese children and adolescents (author's transl)].

20 diabetic as well as 20 obese children and adolescents ware matched considering their age and IQ and the differences in regard to their intelligence subtest abilities, in their attention behavior and in their variables of personality such as neuroticism and extraversion. No differences were found in the subtest achievements of the Hamburg Wechsler Intelligenz Test für Kinder (Hawik). Diabetic patients were superior to obese patients in their concentration. The latter gained significantly higher scores in neuroticism and prefered answers of social desirability. Diabetic adolescents showed a lack of personal indepence and anxieties in regard to stress and frustration.
