title: The Bears' Picnic: children's representations of themselves and their families.
abstract: The Bears' Picnic, a new test of preschoolers' representations of self and family, was given to four-year-olds who had been observed with their mothers at twenty months of age. Observed maternal sensitivity and the affective quality of both partners were related to the child's later valuing versus devaluing of self and others.
