Competition and School Achievement Among Anglo-American and Mexican-American Children
Kagan, Spencer; And Others
Journal of Educational Psychology, 69, 4, 432-41, Aug 77
Mexican-American and Anglo-American children from a semirural low-income elementary school were tested for competition, individualism, field independence, and school achievement. The Mexican-American children were found to be more prosocial and less competitive, but these factors were not necessarily related to lower school achievement. (GDC)
