Children's Use of a Causal Attribution Schema and the Inference of Manipulative Intentions.
Karniol, Rachel; Ross, Michael
Child Development, v50 n2 p463-68 Jun 1979
Two studies conducted with children in kindergarten and grades 1-3 tested the hypothesis that the attribution of manipulative intentions to the donor underlies the tendency to discount intrinsic interest in the presence of rewards. The children made attributions for the behavior of story characters who had been offered a reward for task engagement. (JMB)
