physical postures in ways to alter the experiment in order to reduce aggressive interaction among children.
3.6 EFFECTS OF THE SPATIAL CLARITY OF BEHAVIOR SETTINGS ON CHILDREN'S BEHAVIOUR PATTERN The study investigates the effects of three types of the spatial definition of behaviour settings-from well-defined to poorly defined and partially well-defined.
METHODOLOGY ADOPTED: The particular study for behaviour setting used is a Statistical study, analysis and quasi-experimental design study
• Naturalistic observation (systematic) was conducted on children and staff at different child-centred spaces for different groups.
• The data were analysed by analysis of covariance and co-relation of controlling for subject group differences between settings.

Does the spatial character and arrangement of activity areas in behavior settings influence these activities? Through research it is noted that kids tend to congregate in groups of less than five children with a mean of just under two children in a single setting. Similarly, it is recommend that the best group size for an indoor play group is two to four children. Running, chasing and vigorous activities occur more frequently in larger spaces (those, for instance, around 6-75 m2 , or 75 ft2 per child) while more physical contacts happen between children in smaller preschool spaces (2.2 m 2 or about 25 ft2 per child), though again aggressive behavior was not found to vary with absolute space size. When the built environment provides the kids with more than necessary tools to play with, they tend to sub-divide into smaller groups and play with their
