SITUATIONAL TEST OF HUMANE RESPONSES (SIT): Intermediate Form (Grades 4, 5, 6)
This individually administered test is designed to assess whether
children who have been exposed to humane education behave more humanely
toward animals than children who have not. The test uses nine drawings
and four stories to elicit responses from students. The drawings and
stories each depict a situation or dilemma involving people and animals
and gives students the opportunity to indicate how they would respond if
they were the person in the situation. Thus, this test does not measure
actual behavior, but measures children's perceptions of how they would
behave in situations which allowed humane or inhumane behavior.

SITUATIONAL TEST OF HUMANE RESPONSES INSTRUCTIONS
FORM I (grades 4, 5, & 6)
Say, MY NAME IS . WHAT IS YOUR NAME? (Record student's
name.) WHAT IS YOUR TEACHER'S NAME? Record teacher's name.) WHAT GRADE
ARE YOU IN? Record student's grade level.)
I'M HERE TODAY TO FIND OUT WHAT CHILDREN WOULD DO IN DIFFERENT SITUATIONS. TO DO THAT, I HAVE SOME PICTURES TO SHOW YOU AND SOME
STORIES TO READ TO YOU. THEN, AFTER I SHOW YOU EACH PICTURE OR READ YOU
EACH STORY, I WILL ASK YOU TO PRETEND THAT YOU ARE SOMEONE IN THE
PICTURE OR STORY. THEN I WILL HAVE YOU TELL ME WHAT YOU WOULD DO IF YOU
WERE THAT PERSON. THERE ARE NO RIGHT OR WRONG ANSWERS.
PICTURES (Stack drawings/stories upside down in order)
1. Place the picture so that the child can see it well. (Do not let
students look ahead at other pictures, since that may distract them.) Say to the child: LOOK AT PICTURE . TELL ME
EVERYTHING YOU SEE IN THE PICTURE.
2. If in describing the picture, the child describes the action, go
to point 3 below. If the child describes objects, but misses the action, say, TELL ME WHAT IS HAPPENING IN THE PICTURE. If the
child misses any significant aspect of the action or options
available to him/her, you should direct his/her attention to that
portion of the picture, without telling him/her what to do with
the item or option. 3. Now say: PRETEND YOU ARE (identity will be inserted
for you for each item). TELL ME WHAT YOU WOULD DO.
4. Record the first response the child gives to the item. If the child's response fits within any of the categories provided,
tally the response in the appropriate category. If the response
does not fit any of the categories provided, write down the sense
of the response in the space provided under "other." 5. After each response followed by the word WHY? ask: WHY WOULD YOU
DO THAT? Any response followed by WHY? has a list of possible
answers to WHY? When you say to a child, TELL ME WHAT YOU WOULD
DO? first find the proper letter for his/her answer and place
-

your finger beside it. Next ask, WHY WOULD YOU DO THAT? and then
write a “1” in the appropriate space before the answers to WHY?
If the child's answer fits a given answer category, but the child's answer to WHY? doesn't fit the given choices, write the
answer to WHY? out to the side of the item. (If WHY? is not
included, it is because the reason is self-evident.)
6. If the child's response is too brief or not directly relevant to the action presented in the item, repeat the question or say CAN
YOU TELL ME MORE?
7. For some items, two responses are called for; such items have an additional question (Question 3). For such items, ask: WHAT WOULD
YOU DO THEN? Record the student's response, using the same
alternatives and procedures as for the first response. (Of
course, it will not be the same response and, therefore, cannot
be checked on the same line.)
8. If both the child’s responses are in the “Other” category, number the first response “1” and put (...) around the answer to WHY?
Then, number the second response “2” and use (...) around the answer to WHY?
9. You will always ask WHY? after a response you place in the
“OTHER” category.
STORIES
1. Say: I AM GOING TO READ YOU A STORY. PLEASE LISTEN CAREFULLY SINCE
I AM GOING TO ASK YOU SOME QUESTIONS ABOUT THE STORY.
2. Read the story, carefully and clearly. 3. Say: NOW, PRETEND YOU ARE ______________ (identity will be
provided on each test item). WILL YOU FINISH THE STORY? WHAT WOULD YOU DO?
4. Record the first response the child gives to the item. If the
child's response fits within any of the categories provided, tally
the response in the appropriate category. If the response does not
fit any of the categories provided, write down the sense of the
response in the space provided under "other." 5. After each response followed by the word WHY? ask: WHY WOULD YOU
DO THAT? Any response followed by WHY? has a list of possible

answers to WHY? When you say to a child, TELL ME WHAT YOU WOULD
DO? first find the proper letter for his/her answer and place your
finger beside it. Next, ask WHY WOULD YOU DO THAT? and then write
a “1” in the appropriate space before the answers to WHY? If the
child's answer fits a given answer category, but the child's answer to WHY? doesn't fit the given choices, write the answer to
WHY? out to the side of the item. (WHY? is not included when the
reason is self-evident.)
6. If a child's response is too brief or not directly relevant to the action presented in the item, repeat the question or say: CAN YOU
TELL ME MORE?
7. For some items, two responses are called for; such items have an additional question (Question 2). For such items ask: WHAT WOULD
YOU DO THEN? Record the student's response, using the same
alternatives and procedures as for the first response. (Of course,
it will not be the same response, and therefore cannot be checked
on the same line.)
8. If both the child's responses are in the "OTHER" category, number the first response “1” and put (...) around the answer to WHY?
Then, number the second response “2” and use (...) around the answer to WHY?
9. You will ALWAYS ask WHY? after a response you place in the "OTHER"
category.

STORY 1 Johnny lived on a farm with his grandparents and his dog, Sandy.
One hot summer day Johnny's parents asked him to go for a ride with
them to the city. Johnny asked if he could take Sandy too.
When they reached the city, Johnny's parents decided to stop for
a pizza. They left Sandy in the car, since she was not allowed to go
inside. The restaurant was much cooler than the car, which was hot
from the sun shining through the windows.
Johnny looked outside and saw Sandy climbing out of the open car
window. She jumped to the ground and began to trot toward a street.
Johnny went out and called Sandy back before she reached the street,
for he was afraid she might be hit by a car. Johnny picked Sandy up
and walked back toward their parked car.
Now, pretend you are Johnny. Will you finish the story? What
would you do?

STORY 2 Sally really hated snakes. She could not understand Pete, her
friend and neighbor, because he actually kept a garter snake as a
pet. He told Sally his snake was harmless and wouldn't hurt
anyone.
One day Sally's mother sent her out to hoe weeds in the garden.
It was hot and Sally was angry because she would rather be playing
with her friends. Finally, Pete came over and sat in the shade and
talked to her while she worked. Sally was chopping angrily at the
weeds with her hoe when she saw something move in the weeds on the
next row. Stepping closer, Sally looked down and there close to
her foot was a snake!
Now, pretend you are Sally. Will you finish the story? What
would you do?

STORY 3 Julie and her family moved to town after living on a farm. They
brought their dog, Sparky, from the farm to their new home in
town. When they lived on the farm, Sparky could go anywhere he
wanted to go, but in town he had to be tied up because dogs were
not allowed to run loose in town.
Julie came home after school one day and saw Sparky tied up.
She thought, "I can't stand seeing Sparky tied to a rope everyday,
so I will untie the rope and let him run around the neighborhood
for a while." Julie untied the rope and Sparky ran off.
A few minutes later, Julie heard an angry voice. She looked up
and saw Sparky running up the sidewalk toward her, dragging a
neighbor's tablecloth in his mouth. Julie took the tablecloth away
from Sparky and returned it to her neighbor and apologized.
Now, pretend you are Julie. Will you finish the story? What
would you do?

STORY 4 Jane was supposed to meet her parents after school to go to a
friend's birthday party. Last time she was supposed to meet her
parents to go somewhere, she was late and they were very mad. Her
parents told her that if she was late this time, she would not be
allowed to go to the birthday party. Since Jane wanted very much
to go to the party, she decided to make sure to be on time.
That day, after school, Jane was hurrying across the playground
to meet her parents when she heard a strange noise. She looked
around and saw a small dog lying on the ground under a tree. The
dog looked like it might be sick. Jane knew that if she stopped to
see what was wrong with the dog, she would be late meeting her
parents.
Now, pretend you are Jane. Will you finish the story? What
would you do?
