Barker, George P.; Graham, Sandra
Journal of Educational Psychology, v79 n1 p62-66 Mar 1987
This study examines developmental differences in the use of praise and blame as attributional cues among children ages 4 to 12. It was found that the oldest children inferred lower ability given praise and the absence of blame, while the youngest children, with higher ability inferred given praise, and lower ability given blame.
