The Situation Scale for Adolescents (SISA), a Dutch extended version of the Imaginary Audience Scale, was administered to several hundreds of youngsters at the 7th, 9th and 12th grade levels. The scale, assessing self-consciousness in two types of social situations, proved to be reliable, but yielded confused results regarding age and sex differences. In addition, concern about the imaginary audience was not associated with formal operational thought. These results are in line with previous studies on these topics. When taken together, they clearly indicate that Elkind's theory on the imaginary audience is in need of revision. Findings on the cognitive origin of the imaginary audience are discussed in the light of recent research on formal operations, and suggestions are made for future research.

Microcomputers offer the potential for increasing the effectiveness of language intervention for school-age children and adolescents who have language-learning disabilities. One promising application is in the treatment of students who experience difficulty comprehending figurative expressions, an aspect of language that occurs frequently in both spoken and written contexts. Although software is available to teach figurative language to children and adolescents, it is our feeling that improvements are needed in the existing programs. Software should be reviewed carefully before it is used with students, just as standardized tests and other clinical and educational materials are routinely scrutinized before use. In this article, four microcomputer programs are described and evaluated. Suggestions are then offered for the development of new types of software to teach figurative language.
