Family Factors Related to Children's Intrinsic/Extrinsic Motivational Orientation and Academic Performance.
Ginsburg, Golda S.; Bronstein, Phyllis
Child Development, v64 n5 p1461-74 Oct 1993
Examined familial factors in relation to 93 fifth-graders' motivational orientation and academic performance. High parental surveillance of homework; parental reactions to grades that included negative control, uninvolvement, or extrinsic reward; and over- and undercontrolling family styles were found to be related to children's extrinsic motivational orientation and low academic performance.
