The Effects of Mastery and Competitive Conditions on Self-Assessment at Different Ages.
Butler, Ruth
Child Development, v61 n1 p201-10 Feb 1990
A total of 80 Israeli 5, 7, and 10 year olds working in either a match-the-standard or a competitive condition copied a drawing and then evaluated their copies. Competing 5 year olds overestimated the quality of their copies. With age, self-assessments became less positive and better correlated with adult judgments. (RH)
