A Model of Mastery Motivation for At-Risk Preschoolers.
Turner, Lisa A.; Johnson, Burke
Journal of Educational Psychology, v95 n3 p495-505 Sep 2003
Tests a theoretical model of mastery motivation with 169 4-year-old African American at-risk children and their parents. The results showed that parents' education predicted parenting beliefs, parents' global self-efficacy predicted parenting beliefs and parent-child relationships, parenting beliefs predicted parent-child relationships, parent-child relationships predicted children's mastery, and children's mastery predicted children's performance on achievement tests controlling for pretest differences. (Contains 62 references, 2 tables, and 3 figures.) (GCP)
