Some evidence regarding development of cerebral lateralization.

Frequencies of significant rs for right- and left-hemisphere scales of Elementary School and Youth forms of Style of Learning and Thinking increase from K through Grade 8 (Ns = 1360) as would be expected if cerebral lateralization begins with acquisition of language and is completed in puberty.

Racial and sex differences in "images of the future".

Scenarios of future careers were written by 454 senior high school students in a southeastern high school. Random samples of 40 black females, 40 black males, 40 white males, and 40 white females were scored for eight characteristics and means were compared through analysis of variance. Only one sex difference was found, girls rated higher than boys on perception of self as changed in the future. The blacks projected greater career satisfaction for the future but the whites wrote longer scenarios and projected greater perceptions of changes in the world/mankind, greater awareness of future problems, more proposals of solutions to future problems, and stronger perceptions of self as a creative problem solver. There were no differences in commitments to making a better world or solving future problems.
