SOCIETY FOR VISUM EDUCATION, Inc., 100 East Ohio Street, Chicago 11, Illinois introductory title explains that because of different experiential backgrounds and personality patterns each child is unique. As- sistants are shown preparing the experimental room while the commentator explains that the two boys will be introduced individually to the same situation for the purpose of observing their reactions. Marvin is brought into a room which contains balloons of various sizes, shapes, and colors. He is told that he might play with them in any manner that he chooses. He immediately says ttiat he hopes they don't break, and to an invitation to break them he replies in the negative. The psychologist asks Marvin it it would be all right if he broke a balloon, but Marvin says, "If you do, I'll go away." When the psychologist takes a small scrap of rubber from his pocket, forms a tiny balloon, and be- gins to twist it to break it. Marvin flinches and advises him not to break it. However, a smile of satisfaction flits across iiis face when the experimenter breaks the balloon. Marvin admits that he liked it but doesn't want any of the bigger balloons broken. When asked what he would like to do with the ballfKins, Marvin says that he would like to take them liome l.ut cannot demonstrate how he would like to play with them. Of one thing he is sure—he doesn't want them broken. Terry is now intro<'.uced to exactly the same situation. Upon entrance into the room he is intrigued by the balloons and can't keep "hands off." He bats them into the air and im- mediately accepts the invitation to break them. By standing on them, rolling on them, squeezing them, and using the as- sistance of the experimenter, Terry finally succeeds in bursting every balloon in the room. Committee Appraisal: The film is valuable to demon- strate the existence of individual differences in the amount of hospitality or aggression present and the control exercised over it in individuals. It is an excellent film for use by classes in psychology, teacher-training, and in P.T..\. groups. Groups will vary in how they will account for the differences in be- havior shown in the film and in methods for assisting young- sters displaying these behavior patterns in making social and personality adjustments. lluilfrotitcd Hllh the problclll of training iiiiMioiis of mm i|uicltlv, L'ncic Sam Has fa»l lo appreciate the experience of ihousanils of ^rhools that had a\rcat\y proved the effective- ness of instriirtionul films.
