Specificity of Environmental Action as Manifest in Environmental Correlates of Infant's Mastery Motivation.
Wachs, Theodore D.
Developmental Psychology, v23 n6 p782-90 Nov 1987
Tested the generalizability of the specificity model of environmental action to the domain of mastery motivation in infants. Found that the specificity model successfully predicted that aspects of the environment uniquely related to dimensions of mastery motivation, and that infant sex and temperament mediated the relation of environment to mastery motivation.
