A summary of translated Setswana hare folktales, behavioural themes and the conceptual assumption emerged from analysis

This dataset reflects the Setswana hare folktales translated to English in the form of short summaries collected for the study. The study was conducted on the behaviour of hare characters as potrayed in the folktales and the potential implication that the folktales could have on children. The behaviour of hare characters were analysed and 16 behavioural themes emerged. The behavioural themes mirror the real-life behaviour commonly associated with the social crisis of moral degeneration in contemporary South Africa. Therefore, a conceptual framework assumption which informed the study is included in the dataset, using theories to demonstrate the potential impact of Setswana hare folktales in perpetuating children to mimic the hare's behaviour. Thus perpetuating the issue of moral degeneration in society.

本数据集收录了为研究目的所收集的短篇摘要形式的塞茨瓦纳语野兔民间故事译为英语的版本。研究聚焦于民间故事中所描绘的野兔角色的行为表现，以及这些民间故事可能对儿童产生的潜在影响。对野兔角色的行为进行了分析，并提炼出16个行为主题。这些行为主题反映了与当代南非社会道德堕落危机相关的现实生活中的行为。因此，数据集中包含了指导研究的概念框架假设，运用理论来展示塞茨瓦纳语野兔民间故事在持续影响儿童模仿野兔行为方面的潜在作用。从而在社会中延续道德堕落的议题。
