Development of Self-Concept, Delay of Gratification and Self-Control and Disadvantaged Preschool Children's Achievement Gain.
Flynn, Timothy M.
Early Child Development and Care, v22 n1 p65-72 1985
Disadvantaged preschool children attending a program of compensatory education were studied to determine if change in self-concept, delay of gratification, and exercise of self-control were related to growth in achievement. Girls displayed self-concept growth and a decline in delay of gratification, while boys showed growth in self-control. (Author/DST)
