I think that asking questions about "which doll is the bad one?" after they've already asked which doll they prefer is quite leading.
Hmm I just dunno what I think about it as an experiment/research really.
I thought that.
A lot of critism for even very famous experiments from highly knowelegable people (obv not me cos I can't spell) say that the way in which the child is asked is critical. And she seems to be misleading them in the way and order she asks them.
It's similiar to Piaget's conservation experiments.
I don't think it is wholly down to self-esteem if not the media and and world around them. Asking them the bad or ugly or whatever they said doll is quite a contriversal thing to ask - and it is highly debatable if the children's answer were true or what they think they should have been saying. Which is always the case in such experiments.
