The Effect of Effort and Feedback on the Formation of Student Attitudes
McMillan, James H.
American Educational Research Journal, 14, 3, 317-30, Sum 77

Students received high or low-effort assignments, and high or low praise from their teacher. Those completing high-effort assignments and receiving high praise formed significantly more positive attitudes. (Author/MV)
