Creating landscapes of shadow and light
through the
manipulation of the material that drapes the body beneath, the artist is able to impart both
emotional drama and theatricality almost entirely
through gesture and impulse.
Despite decades of research describing the harmful effects of family poverty on children's
emotional and behavioral development, eg,12 - 17 experimental or quasi-experimental
manipulations of family income that could go beyond description are rare18 and tend to examine the effect of such
manipulations on physical health or academic attainment, rather than
emotional or behavioral functioning.19, 20 Other analyses of the Great Smoky Mountains data set have focused on educational and criminal outcomes.21 The few studies looking at
emotional or behavioral outcomes tend to have a short time frame.22, 23 Some studies of school - based interventions have followed up with children
through to adulthood, 24,25 but we have found none that have looked at the long - term effects of family income supplementation on adult psychological functioning.
