Individual Differences and the Development of Perceived Control.
Skinner, Ellen A.; Connell, James P.; Zimmer-Gembeck, Melanie J.
Monographs of the Society for Research in Child Development, v63 n2-3 p1-220 1998
Examined age differences in the operation of beliefs-performance cycles and the effects of these cycles on the development of children's perceived control and classroom engagement from the third to the seventh grade. Found that children who experienced teachers as warm and contingent were more likely to develop optimal profiles of control. Beliefs that regulated engagement shifted with age. (JPB)
