The purpose of this study was to develop an assessment instrument through which affective responsiveness of third-grade children to music could be measured. / Three sources provided the foundation for the present study: (a) the Taxonomy of Educational Objectives. The Classification of Educational Goals. Handbook II: Affective Domain (Krathwohl, Bloom, & Masia, 1964) which outlines five levels of affective behavior and suggests possible behaviors indicative of each level (receiving, responding, valuing, organization, and characterization by a value); levels I and II were determined pertinent to the present study; (b) the studies of Piaget which provide cognitive characteristics of the school-age child; and (c) the works of Erikson which explore the emotional and social development of the school-age child. / These three sources combined with a synthesis of selected literature resulted in the selection and definition of three behaviors indicative of affective response to music: attentiveness, physical response, and unsolicited response. / An initial affective behavior assessment instrument was designed to record student observations and to test the procedure. Subsequently, a fourth behavior--verbal response--was added and operational definitions were redefined upon analysis of the pilot instrument by music experts. / The study used the final Affective Behavior Assessment Instrument Form in evaluating ten observations edited from five videotaped third-grade music classes. Observations were made across three separate music settings of desk work, bell playing, and board work. / Results indicate that third-grade children's behavior representative of affective responsiveness to music can be observed and charted. / Source: Dissertation Abstracts International, Volume: 51-09, Section: A, page: 3008. / Major Professor: Amy Brown. / Thesis (Ph.D.)--The Florida State University, 1990.
