Johnson, David W.; And Others
Contemporary Educational Psychology, v4 n2 p99-106 Apr 1979
The effects of interpersonal cooperation, competition, and individualistic efforts were compared on math and reading drill-review, story problems, sequencing, triangle identification, and visual sorting according to attributes tasks, using first-grade students. The cooperative group achieved higher scores and found the tasks easier than the competitive and individualistic groups. (Author/RD)
