Social Influences on Children's Toy Preferences: Effects of Model Rewardingness and Affect.
Zimmerman, Barry J.; Koussa, Richard
Contemporary Educational Psychology, v4 n1 p55-66 Jan 1979
Preschool children interacted with an adult model who was either low or highly rewarding to the child. Later the model displayed either a high or low degree of positive affect as he played with a nonpreferred toy. The model's affect influenced both the children's ratings of and imitative play with the toy. (Author/RD)
