A first cooperative research program in the developmental psychology was established in the Clark questionnaire studies. The program was not meant to be freestanding but to elaborate an evolutionary conception of child development synthesized from findings of several scientific fields. The shortlived program had some serious faults, but an examination of its research papers suggests that it produced some worthwhile work. The childstudy researchers gathered information about children's social and emotional reactions in everyday settings; one or two of their studies were replicated; they found pattern and order; they elaborated a meaningful socialbiological view of child development.
