Room descriptionsFootnote∗

The research reported here was supported in part by grants from the Faculty of Social Sciences and the Human Development Center of the Hebrew University of Jerusalem. It could not have been carried out without the aid of several student assistants. Tali Arbel collected the data and helped in the initial states of the analysis; Joseph Glickson and Ilan Yaniv helped in the later stages of the analysis; Helen Baron and Ruthy Fortes went over the final draft. I thank them for all their comments and criticism.
